“Everyone has their vice,” says artist Sarah DiNardo. “I guess mine is rolling tape.” DiNardo’s passion for rolling masking tape into fabulous, intricate sculpture is, of course, no vice at all. It is a very special kind of gift, one that provides both to the giver and the recipient. The world is richer for the presence of DiNardo’s distinctive creative vision. Her pieces are abstract, yet they are bounded in the familiar concreteness of re-purposed boxes. They are architectural or pastoral, naturalistic or constructivist, all depending on the eye one brings to them. But DiNardo is also a beneficiary of her art. Rolling tape satisfies DiNardo’s primal pleasure in the tactile experience of the tackiness of the adhesive -- in the subtle balance between tension and yielding. And it nourishes her creative impulses. “I am truly blessed by knowing what makes me happy,” she says.
