The form and content of Verlin’s work varies from one project to the next, but she takes the same approach to each. When possible she use simple, often recycled or repurposed, materials. She uses equally simple construction techniques. A single set of mechanical operations that can be performed repeatedly and that become beautiful through repetition. This simplicity combined with a subtle sense of humor offer a pathway into the art. Time and participation are often incorporated into the work.
