“Nebula” (2025) demands to be viewed and scrutinized closely, as well as from a distance and in the round. Composed of reddish acrylic polymer, the shape is loosely outlined by steel wire, to which a fringe of red yarn reaching down to the floor is attached. Materially, the fleece is connected to the strands of red yarn attached to the wire frames surrounding and supporting the acrylic polymer. By bringing impermanent materials into her work, Segre embraces the physical world as a constantly changing site of destruction and potentiality.
