Libby Sipe

Libby Sipe is a process-driven multidisciplinary artist pursuing a space for experimentation and exploration as she blurs the lines between painting and sculpture. She is currently exploring thoughts on history, layering, and fitting (or not fitting) into spaces as an aging woman. Embracing a “less is more” mentality, she has been layering and folding paint skins without the addition of other materials, and admires the standalone material as it is, imperfections and all.

She uses various tools to shape, mould, drip, and pipe paint into multiple shapes and textures to build depth and bring character to her works. Using a combination of paint skins made from acrylic polymer emulsion draped over foam and wire armatures, she then embellishes the work with an array of materials and processes that include, but are not limited to: pigment dispersion, aggregate, ultralight, glass balls, semi-precious stones, oils, textiles, and found objects.
