In the Gallery: "Twig Field IV" by Amelia de Neergaard

Presently, in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery are works which comprise the second of our three retrospectives to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the gallery. Each of the artists have had a solo show in the gallery since it opened in April, 1994. In the upcoming weeks, we will feature on our blog one of the pieces in the show and a brief reflection by the artist who created it.

Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. The present show will run
until August 22, 2009.

"Twig Field IV" by Amelia de Neergaard

I am drawn to the linear peculiarities of twigs and branches and their similatities to calligraphic markings when viewed individually. When massed they created texture and form. By connecting them with man-made elements and structuring volumes and shapes, I seek to emphasize their naturalness and individuality. I have been influenced by the woods around me - the somethimes chaotic arrangements but consistently ordered patterns and textures of plants and trees; the endless decay and regeneration. By focusing on the details, I hope to bring attention to the whole.
