| dc.description.abstract | My thesis project explores the use of carefully orchestrated, patterned paintings depicting domestic interiors with bold, flat, layered planes of color, repeated motifs, and a shallow sense of space. Pattern is everywhere I look - in nature, decorative home furnishings, on clothing, animals, etc. I love pattern and my paintings reflect the joyful contemplation of their orderly repetition. I find inspiration in decorative organic form. From wind-swept leaves dancing on an afternoon run and a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the local market stand to the clothes in my closet and cherished domestic objects, pattern adorns every corner of my life. I have incorporated precious items from my own home, memories of places and things, as well as imagery gleaned from photographs and online content of interiors I can only dream of. The patterns adorning the surface of my work are born from the desire for order and predictability. A sense of balance, repetition, joyful color, and a little bit of friendly confusion guide my decision-making process. My painting represents an artful meditation on everyday, domestic life. | en_US |
