Reading your description of the repetition of your lessons brought to mind the work of Agnes Martin the abstract painter who devoted her life to covering her canvases with subtle hues and zen like lines. A meditation on the line and soft color.
During long walks in winter over our farm the white landscape held a mesmerizing effect in my mind. Snow simplifies everything except what it does not cover. What remains is illuminated by the snow. It transforms shapes bringing them forward.
I created 100 plus small framed artworks all white on white with minimal colour. Marrying an object of nature with a small man made object. I sewed them onto paper I created from flax and milkweed silk. This was part of the Ontario Association of Artists provincial show in public and private galleries. I show my work at the Art Gallery of Burlington and as part of my farm installation to bring attention to the importance of water. 2004 “Water for Life”: Reflections.
