Love – Canvas
$120.00
This is the word "Love" built entirely from narrow strips of paper, each one hand-rolled, shaped, and pinned into place. The letters stand up off the surface, casting soft shadows that shift depending on how the light hits them. Every letter is layered with the same rainbow progression: pink at the top, moving through orange, yellow, green, and blue at the bottom. The effect is clean and bright, but unmistakably handmade.
What makes this piece work is the repetition of that color sequence across all four letters. The L curves elegantly with a stack of nested rainbow coils forming its spine. The O is a perfect oval made from concentric rings of color. The V and E follow the same logic, each letter a self-contained sculpture built from the same limited palette. The tiny anchor points holding everything in place are visible if you look close, which is exactly the point. This isn't hiding the process. It's celebrating it.
I built this piece by working letter by letter, making sure each one had enough dimension and presence to read clearly from across the room. The rainbow runs through every single coil in the same order, which creates a visual rhythm that ties the whole thing together. It's a straightforward statement. No hidden meaning, no metaphor. Just the word "Love" made from color and paper and time.
On canvas, "Love" gains physical presence. The rainbow coils sit on a lightly textured surface that feels closer to a painting than a print. Color wraps around the sides so it reads as a solid, three-dimensional object from every angle. The texture catches the eye in a way smooth paper doesn't, making each letter feel more sculptural even though it's flat. Hung on a wall, this version commands attention.
