Organics
Organics (April – September 2013 ) In this series, I use embroidery, acrylic and oil sticks to explore patterns we may find in Nature and their relationship to the greater world. The combination of overlapping gestural lines creates a world immersed in fantasy, yet arrangement of shapes and colours resembles patterns found in living organisms – the building blocks of Life. Through this body of work is a continuation of the study of Nature, the life energy and its everlasting process of rejuvenation.
Upcoming Exhibition at Gallery 1313, May 1-12, 2013
