FAMILIAR MYSTERIES
Familiar Mysteries is a body of work exploring the ways in which materials and experimental art processes can emulate growth, energy, and movement. These works reference organic textures and hint at biomorphic forms that feel biologically familiar, yet they are abstracted and densely layered creating enigmatic and mysterious environments. The works in Familiar Mysteries include, and sometimes combine, printmaking, painting, textiles, collage, and ceramics.
Familiar Mysteries as a contemplation of growth and resiliency is reflected in the compositional resistance to boundaries and edges. The limitlessness of the rounded edge and the repetition of organic shapes evoke the possibility of growth, germination, duplication, and reproduction. All of these processes create the phenomenon that is nature. It is my hope that by referencing the mystery of the organic world, perhaps we can begin to see our human selves as part of this complex system of phenomena.
