When I first saw Mia Peralman's installation, I thought they were fantastic. They were delicate, moving, letting light through and making shadows. Their appearance changed, depending on the light direction. I thought this would be a very suitable medium for water.
I wanted to hang my paper river from a height with one source of light but no suitable space was available. So I made it in the studio, on a frame.
I wasn't happy about the frame being visible - it was too straight and rigid - until a friend pointed out it was just like the concrete buildings of the city against the flowing river! I still don't like it but I feel better about it being there.
