① Artwork:
Untitled
This landscape painting offers an aerial view of abstract and irregular elliptical forms of red, green, and white bordered by a thin band. The composition resists the viewer's understanding, suggesting something more than a singular place.
About her work, Lucy Mullican says: "I immerse myself in mediums of permanence and transience. My work is rooted in nature—land, water, and sky—from which I abstract elements that intuitively evolve into familiar shapes, recalling existence and the soul. I am trying to find my own place in the world, and I do so through stories imagined in the personality of objects and our fleeting relationship to them."
