Kaman’s small works differ from the larger works in that they are often stretched, presented as little paintings using fabric, paper, paint and thread. Sometimes they are done in a series, exploring a simple format over and over with different materials and colors. More often than not, they all reference nature and are more representative than the larger works.

Maps

The Maps Series began with the idea of confusing our sense of place and our idea of universality. Kaman tore up maps she collected over the years from her many travels and then sewed them back together, jumbling them up to make new non-existent places. An imaginary world takes shape instead, with new oceans or land masses, or city grids turned upside down.
