Rolled Adhesive Artwork

Sarah Anne DiNardo Works with Sticky Tape to Create Gorgeous Designs

— April 16, 2013 — Art & Design
As artist Sarah Anne DiNardo describes in her documentary by Gnarly Bay, different people interpret her sticky tape rolls in different ways. Some viewers say they look like barnacles, others say bones, but when I look at them, the first thing that comes to mind is a platter of delicious cinnamon buns fresh from the oven.

Their beautiful symmetry and abstract undulations is what gives these rolls of tape the ability to bring joy and mental peace to viewers who appreciate finding the patterns amidst the everyday hustle and bustle. Similarly, the artist describes how relaxing and peaceful she feels when creating each roll, envisioning the way it will turn out even before she is near completion.

To finish off her sticky tape artwork, DiNardo places them in vintage wooden boxes for an added extra touch.
