Piece description from the artist
Flourishing in a homogeneous world 1 describes how diverse populations grow and survive despite others’ attempts to constrain them in their homogeneous society.
The base layer is created by collaging on colorful paper strips. Then all but the vines are covered with white paint leaving the bright, unpainted paper to become the focal point. I love how the raised texture of the collaged paper is still visual under the white color.
Colorado artist Kathy Ferguson paints colorful abstract landscapes that are richly layered, botanically inspired reactions to her experiences with nature. Using combinations of geometric and organic shapes, she creates imaginary worlds using paint, collage paper, and ink. Her colors are often bold and saturated alluding to environments more illusionary than authentic, places more commonly found in dreams than in reality.
Her work is held in many collections including the Plaza Hotel in New York, the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston, and the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg, Russia.
