Sonneck’s paper installations are a subtle manipulation of the material, guiding it into new and unique forms while allowing its weight, texture, and material tension to behave in organic ways. Far from passive, these works are in a state of static dynamism. Upon her paper and canvas surfaces, Sonneck conducts complex coloristic experiments that underscore the concept of color as an unstable state. Nuanced color relations play out in a rhythmic repetition created by Sonneck’s consciously reduced painterly gestures.
