Rebecca is a sculptor and installation artist who infuses her creations with a unique blend of resourcefulness and artistic vision. Drawing inspiration from her fascination with animals and nature, while embracing a philosophy of sustainability and accessibility, she transforms recycled cardboard into intricate sculptures and installations that captivate the imagination. Beyond her studio practice, Rebecca has ventured into the realms of prop making and set decoration, becoming a valued member of IATSE Local 481, the local film union. Her talents shone brightly in her contributions to the acclaimed film “Knives Out”, where she crafted the iconic knife sculpture that became a visual centerpiece of the production. However, for Rebecca, art is more than just a profession—it’s a vehicle for community engagement and empowerment. Her passion lies in fostering creative opportunities for young artists and using her work to spark dialogue and connection among diverse audiences. With each creation, Rebecca invites us to see the beauty in the discarded, to reimagine our surroundings, and to embrace the boundless possibilities of artistic expression.

This body of work is a longstanding series of sculptures made from recycled cardboard. Using this easily accessible and common material, I explore its range of possibilities and variations, pushing
beyond its perceived limitations. The work challenges the assumption that fine art must rely on special materials, workspaces, or exclusive access. I believe art should not feel reserved for those with more resources, but instead remain open, adaptable, and available to everyone. These sculptures here span the last seven years, though my relationship with cardboard began in 2007. That year, I watched Bread and Puppet Theater perform next door at the Cyclorama. Their use of humble materials—fabric, cardboard, and papier-mâché—to create monumental sets, puppets, and costumes left a lasting impression. The performance demonstrated how imagination and intention can transform what is readily available into something powerful and expressive. Inspired by this experience, I began creating with materials I found around me—objects I could afford and forms that fit the space I had at the time. Through this work, I hope viewers feel a sense of joy and possibility, just as I did while making these pieces.
