Estimate
$3 300
This is an expanded abstract painting language that articulates ideas from the everyday; beauty, arrangement and control. Often dramatic and finessed my work demonstrate sites of the real, often trivialized, feminized, in short, ideas women are typically left reflecting on and assigning with content that relate back to minimalism proper. They are meditations, poetry, and contemplations of legacy, my daughter and God. I have a fixation about economy and exhausting potential of language in simple forms. This is the exercise.
