Up, Over and Through

Cerulean Arts is pleased to present Up, Over and Through, featuring works on paper by Bill Brookover, Joan Wadleigh Curran, Anda Dubinskis, and Heather McMordie. A use of evolving pattern and spatial layering are fundamental to these artists’ creative practices. Trained in architecture and design, Bill Brookover begins with a constraint such as a geometric pattern or color palette and pushes the rule to find unexpected juxtapositions. Joan Wadleigh Curran focuses on the interchange between natural and manmade environments in her mixed media collages. Issues of beauty and loss, strength and vulnerability and change over passage of time are at the forefront of her work. Utilizing a variety of sources for imagery including botany, fabric and architecture, Anda Dubinskis’ large-scale charcoal drawings start out as regular patterns that twist then morph into something completely different. Heather McMordie is inspired by geomorphology for her imagery and process. Often recycling and combining her drawings and prints, she slowly re-shapes them, just as nature continually erodes and renews.
