The Wrapture Series
By Montena Fink-Lacy
"Wrapture" is a collection that holds my heart and my vision. It comprises both acrylic paintings and photographic images, a testament to the captivating fusion of nature and discarded plastics carried by the whims of the wind. These forlorn objects, swept up by a series of unforeseen events, have embarked on an unexpected journey, becoming entangled, knotted, and ensnared in the natural world, finding their final resting place among trees and fences along our highways. They've transformed into sculptures in motion, reborn as works of art within their newfound environments. My friends have affectionately dubbed this body of work the "trash series," but I vehemently reject such a label. To me, these images are metaphors for life itself, revealing the profound beauty that emerges when our paths take unforeseen turns. What may seem to the casual passerby as useless or forsaken becomes a trove of treasures to those who approach with curiosity - a wellspring of inspiration, hope, and enduring beauty. My journey with "Wrapture" began in 2008. At the break of dawn, as the sun's first rays stretched across the landscape, these discarded relics were aglow, like a constellation of Christmas lights adorning the roadsides and adorning the branches of trees. What captivates me most is the wind's whimsical choreography. It not only carries these items but also shapes and knots them into unique forms. Over time, the elements cause some pieces to take on the appearance of weathered skin, imbuing them with the essence of time's passage. What's endlessly fascinating is that these pieces can change their appearance from one week to the next, and sometimes even within the same day. I'm drawn to their delicate yet powerful presence as they gracefully dance in the wind, creating a striking contrast against the harsh confines of barbed wire and the anger of thorns that hold them captive. It's in the embrace of sunlight that they truly come to life, radiating depth, and even a voice of their own. "Wrapture" is an exploration of the unnoticed, the discarded, and the unpredictable beauty that surrounds us. It invites viewers to reexamine their surroundings, to see the treasures in the seemingly forsaken, and to find in these humble remnants a source of hope, inspiration, and the enduring elegance of life's uncharted course.

Ties I
“Ties I” A diptych (Left side) is part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s “Wrapture” Series (Prints)
The original painting is 60" x 48" making the diptych 120’ x 68’- Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
“Ties II” (right side) is also available on another page on this website.
Let me take you on a journey into the heart of my painting "Ties I." This piece became a diptych because I felt the need to continue the story, to investigate the details as you would a well-kept secret.
It was just after Hurricane Ike had swept through Galveston Island, leaving behind a landscape forever altered. Amid the aftermath, something curious caught my eye, a chaotic amalgamation of elements – twine, grass, twigs, and fishing line – all tangled in the unforgiving embrace of a barbed wire fence. It was a sight that demanded my attention, that tugged at my curiosity.
I couldn't help but wonder about the history of this twine, what it might have secured when the tempestuous storm hit, and how far it had journeyed before coming to rest here, among its newfound companions. I pictured in my mind's eye the struggle it must have endured, as it wound itself around and around, battling the relentless gale-force winds until it conquered its unyielding foe
As you examine the painting closely, you'll discover an intricate tapestry of different textures, colors, and levels of transparency. It's a visual symphony where the elements of wind, sun, and nature intertwine with the man-made products to create a remarkable and unlikely portrayal of relationships and life. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, where beauty emerges from the most unexpected of places.
In "Ties," I've found a unique and haunting beauty, an ode to the complex interplay of the elements, and a tribute to the enduring human spirit that triumphs even in the face of nature's harshest challenges. I invite you to explore this work and find the beauty in its intricate details, for within them lies the story of life's struggles and triumphs.

Glorious
“Glorious” is part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s “Wrapture” Series (Prints)
The original painting is 60" x 48" - Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
This painting was inspired by amazing beauty found in the most unexpected place. It all began one morning alongside Highway 183 in Austin, Texas, where I stumbled upon a sheer piece of orange fabric ensnared in the unforgiving embrace of a thorny bush. The morning sun bathed this ordinary fabric in an extraordinary light, transforming it into a glistening treasure chest, hidden in plain sight.
At the time of this serendipitous discovery, that section of the highway was under construction, soon to become the 183 Toll Road. It was a place where one wouldn't necessarily expect to find art, yet there it was, waiting to be uncovered and appreciated.
Captivated by this unexpected gem, I felt compelled to capture it before the opportune moment passed. However, doing so was no easy task. I risked my life, ventured into the path of oncoming traffic on foot, navigated the uneven terrain, and ultimately crawled close to the ground to immortalize this seemingly mundane yet strangely glorious discovery.
Despite the fabric's modest size of approximately three feet, it was as though I had stumbled upon a hidden treasure, larger than life, and bursting with significance. Through a unique perspective and zooming in close, I was able to convey the profound message that beauty is often concealed in the ordinary, waiting to be unveiled.
This painting became part of the "Wrapture" Series. I created a subset of photos from that morning that I call “Burning Bush. They all delve into the intricate tapestry of life, relationships, and the interplay of beauty and pain. It's a reminder of the transient and fragile nature of our existence, urging viewers to contemplate the hidden messages that the everyday world has to offer. Through my lens, I invite you to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to appreciate the world around us from a new and unique perspective.

Blue Dew
"Blue Dew" is a part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s “Wrapture” Series (Prints)
The original “Blue Dew” painting is 48" x 48" - Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
The original painting I created was born from a chance encounter with a piece of bubble wrap ensnared in a Texas barbed wire fence along the roadside. It was a moment of unexpected inspiration, where nature and human-made materials converged in a striking manner.
As I stumbled upon this scene in the early morning light, I couldn't help but be captivated by the magic that unfolded before my eyes. The bubble wrap, usually mundane and utilitarian, had been transformed by nature's touch. The morning dew had collected within the bubbles, capturing tiny droplets of water that sparkled like diamonds in the sun. This captured essence of the early day was further enhanced by the backdrop of the vibrant summer blue sky, creating a stunning visual contrast.
What struck me most was the profound dichotomy between the harsh, rusty barbs of the wire fence and the gentle, almost serene quality of the bubbles. The barbed wire, a symbol of pain and obstacles, seemed to stand in stark contrast to the softness and fluidity of the bubbles. The bubbles melted into the scene, akin to smooth river rocks nestled along the water's edge, adding a sense of tranquility and grace to the otherwise harsh environment.
The painting that emerged from this moment was a testament to the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places, as well as the fascinating interplay between the man-made and the natural world. It served as a reminder of the power of contrast and the ability of art to capture the essence of a fleeting moment, freezing it in time for all to appreciate.

Life
“Life” is part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s “Wrapture” Series (Prints)
The original painting is 60" x 48" - Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
"Life" is a painting that found its inspiration amidst the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, in the windswept landscape of Galveston, Texas. Here, I discovered fragments of plastic suspended high in a tree, their precarious perch a testament to the turmoil that nature had unleashed. I was immediately captivated by the dichotomy of beauty and struggle, as smooth, flowing ribbons of light and color collided with the harsh, unforgiving reality of thorns and twigs.
Within this scene, I found a poignant reflection of the human experience, where the desire to be free and the innate need for connection and belonging coexist. I would spend hours tracing the path of a single piece of plastic, following its twists and turns as it danced in the wind. This piece, I named "Life," as it seemed to encapsulate the essence of both the beauty of relationships and the occasional messiness that accompanies them.
"Life" serves as a powerful reminder that beauty can be found in the intricate and often tangled threads of our existence, if we take the time to look closely. It portrays the delicate dance between the longing for freedom and the yearning for connection, encapsulating the essence of the human experience in all its complexities.

Shout
“Shout” is part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s “Wrapture” Series (Prints)
The original painting is 48" x 48" - Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
"Shout" is a painting born from an unexpected encounter in the Texas Hill Country. It all began with a large, weathered piece of plastic, entangled within a cluster of resilient cacti along the roadside. Bathed in the golden backlight of the sun, it came to life, almost like a living entity, dancing and glowing in a way that seemed to shout for attention.
What struck me most was the sense of hope conveyed by the vast, azure summer sky and the kinetic energy of the wind. Together, they painted a vivid picture of the human struggle for freedom, an enduring pursuit that resonated deeply with me. The ever-changing shadows cast by the cacti added their own layer of storytelling, offering a unique perspective on the scene.
"Shout" is a testament to the "Wrapture" Series' recurring themes of life, relationships, change, and beauty. It captures the essence of beauty emerging from the midst of life's struggles, almost shouting at us to be seen, acknowledged, and appreciated. The painting serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring pursuit of freedom, set against the backdrop of a dynamic and ever-changing world.

Journey
“Journey” is part of the “Wrapture” series by Montena Fink-Lacy. It is part of a subset called Burning Bush”. Contact artist for collector editions – signed and numbered prints.
These photos were taken of a piece of sheer orange fabric caught in a thorn bush on the side of Hwy 183 in Austin, Texas. It was lit up by the morning sun like a treasure chest full of gold (well, to me anyway). That section of highway was under construction at the time and is now the 183 Toll Road. I risked life and limb to cross traffic on foot and crawled along the ground to capture photos of the "glorious" sight. The actual fabric was only about 3 feet long, but when zooming in close and aiming up at the sky, it began to take on a larger than life feeling. As with most of the images from the "Wrapture" Series, it represents life, relationships, beauty mixed with pain as well as the transient condition of us all.

Wraptured Swings I
"Wraptured Swings I" is a part of Montena Fink-Lacy’s Wrapture Photography Series
Contact artist for collector editions – signed and numbered prints.
“Wraptured Swings” was created on a deserted school playground in Mason, TX. If you know me or my work, you know that I am obsessed with shadows and all things blowing in the wind. This had it all! When we approached the playground late one afternoon , there was no wind. However, as soon as we started to unroll the 200’ of plastic the wind literally ripped it out of my hands and became alive. The swings started swinging and creaking too. It was crazy! (I have a video that I will try to figure out how to share.) Distorted shadows of distant playground equipment was a total surprise and delight.
As always, I’m inspired by the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the artists noted for their large-scale environmental installations often involving large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric, including the Wrapped Reichstag, The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Running Fence in California, and The Gates in New York City's Central Park. Christo and Jeanne-Claude would have been proud.

I have been inspired by the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude since college. They are the artists noted for his large-scale environmental installations often involving large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric, including the Wrapped Reichstag, The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Running Fence in California, and The Gates in New York City's Central Park. They influenced this “Wraptured” Series in many ways. Wrapping this deserted bridge in Lulling, Texas is my biggest Christo attempt so far. It was far more exciting than I had even expected. I have a video of it where I actually leaped with delight as these huge sheets of plastic came alive all around me, dancing and swaying in the gentle breeze. The sun casting ever changing shadows through the metal beams that grew and shrank with each gust of wind. This was one of the most fun art pieces I‘ve created yet! This couldn’t have happened without my husband’s herculean efforts tossing large rolls of plastic up and over the rafters. Oh, we were just like Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

For Christmas one year, I asked my husband for 200’ of plastic. I know, kind strange. But, I wanted to take it to the beach since there is almost always a great breeze there. I had the idea to let it blow against the pilons at sunset. So fun! I had no idea how long 200 feet was and as Jim took off down the beach unrolling it, it took off with a life of its own. It did exactly what I had hoped for and so much more. In a matter of seconds, it pressed itself to the pilons with the sun setting right behind it. It also actually wrapped itself around a jeep passing by (he was a good sport). I hit the ground with my camera and fired away as things changed rapidly and pieces started to break away. There's just something magically about the big billows popping and snapping in the wind, the sun, and the shadows. Desert Storm, Guardian and Canopy were all captured during this photoshoot. It was such an adrenaline rush for me. What a great Christmas present! The first of many boxes of plastic. (BTW: Jim is my amazing husband who helps to make these crazy ideas come to fruition.)

Plight
“Plight” is part of the “Wrapture” series by Montena Fink-Lacy. Contact artist for collector editions – signed and numbered prints.
“Plight” was discovered in Galveston Texas just after Hurricane Ike. Amidst the calm and gentle sunlight, a once turbulent battle had given birth to an intricate and beautiful sculpture. This plastic, torn and knotted, had weathered the storm and come to rest in the peaceful aftermath, and it had a story to tell. Its tangled form spoke of the relentless struggle against nature's fury, a testament to the battle it had endured. We can imagine a narrative of struggle, relationships, resilience, and the innate human need for freedom and connection. It is a reminder that even in the most challenging of circumstances, beauty and meaning can emerge, and that, like these plastic pieces, we are capable of finding solace and strength in the company of others.

“Undone" is an awe-inspiring photograph, capturing the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in Galveston Texas. The remains of a tarp, once meant to protect, now hang onto what remains of a house on the beach. The delicate woven patterns now fading, unraveling, and re-creating themselves into a new thing - art in motion. It's a reminder of the strength of nature and the beauty of transformation. Displayed side-by-side with Undone II, they are like siblings telling different versions of the same storm. Bring this unique piece of art into your home and inspire your guests with its story.

Displayed side-by-side with Undone I, they are like siblings telling different versions of the same storm. Bring this unique piece of art into your home and inspire your guests with its story.

The aging plastic caught the sunlight and transformed the scene into a sea of blue and green with foamy waves. This one-of-a-kind photo is sure to mesmerize anyone who sees it.
