“In her artworks, Jill Paz examines changed states. The artist explores our desire to renovate and seeks to find out what is lost in the process. She is interested in new edifices created from existing structures and pores over how old skeletons inform new flesh. This brings forth questions about the need for, and limitations of, renovation. Paz’s works are detailed approximations crafted with photography, painting, computer programs, and laser-cutting technology, which she uses to bore, etch, and puncture delicate layers on cardboard. She demonstrates the transient and vulnerable nature of paintings, opening up possibilities for the past to be rewritten.”
