① Artwork:
Ink-dipped wings
This kaleidoscopic painting features marvelously intricate accretions of color—echoing the fabrics of the artist's native Peru. The psychedelic symmetry of this composition operates as a way to guide the viewer’s eye through the work, rather than as an end to itself. The artist builds her work organically, brushstroke by brushstroke; each mark is a reaction to the one before it, often pulling remnants of color left behind from the previous line.
Specs:
