makes wall installations crafted from slipcast porcelain components that are designed utilizing a myriad of pattern making methods. She says “as we grow into adulthood, we are pressured to be more serious and focused in order to be successful. When developing patterns and shapes, I am playing and creating puzzles and problems for myself to solve. I am the creator of my own organized chaos by developing intricate systems, grids, patterns, and shapes.”

work is orchestrated with a collection of colours, shapes, and lines that have caught her eyes as she moves through daily life. These elements have slowly become the vocabulary she uses to tell her stories and give shape to her personal impressions of the world around her. Her hope is that her art becomes a space for the viewer to transcend the moment and to experience a sense of relief and inspiration, as a favourite piece of music might.

Shapero transmutes negatives from past sculptural pieces into positive shapes that form the bedrock of her cosmic abstractions. Shapero’s repeating motifs—irregular rectangles and ovals that resemble “scars” or ruptures in the surface— are highlighted through the artist’s application of delicate gold leaf, an adornment dating back more than 8,000 years in the canon of art history.

pours acrylic color on strips of Mylar, which she then hangs a few inches in front of the wall. Sometimes perforated, the translucent strips create optical illusions—a cloud of orange hovering behind a pink strip, violet behind blue, green behind yellow. She has made other objects as well.
