Three artists whose work focuses on abstraction and the cycle of life will have a group show in the Grubbs Gallery through the month of April. Amanda Barrow<\/a>, Sharon Ligorner<\/a>, and Laurie Goddard<\/a> use handwoven tapestries, wax based paint<\/span>, and works on paper to explore themes of impermanence, regeneration, and growth.\u00a0 Their group show “Parallels” will explore these themes in their art.<\/p>\n

In her artist’s statement, Ms. Barrow<\/a> noted that she looks for ways to portray in her art what she describes as the \u201cindigenous spiritual ambiance of the East\u201d and that she draws inspiration from her travels, from forms in architecture, and from the human body.<\/p>\n

“The work shown here represents tapestries that were handwoven during my Fulbright research grant in India in 1992,” she wrote. “The images present a broad range of abstractions that draw from nature, architecture, and the human body as primary sources of inspiration.”<\/p>\n

Ms. Borrow was raised in the mid-west and studied in India on a Fulbright grant. Her work is included in such collections as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Boston and New York Public Libraries, and the Museum of the Book in the Netherlands, among others. She lives and works in Massachusetts, New York, and Maine.<\/p>\n

Ms. Ligorner<\/a> uses molten wax based paint<\/span>, known as encaustic, to create pieces inspired by natural patterns\u2014a universal geometry of spirals, circles, and space\u2014and by the symbols of eastern cultures. In her statement, she noted that she is always seeking visual harmony and favors “a bold use of color.”<\/p>\n

“Being process oriented, I enjoy encaustic for its ability to be layered, carved, scraped, stamped, stenciled, and buffed,” she wrote. “Inherently transparent and luminous, I like to allow a visual history to peek through the layers.”<\/p>\n

Ms. Goddard<\/a> also uses various media to play with the idea of form and color. Her focus, she noted, is on a Modernist and contemporary approach.<\/p>\n

“These paintings are encaustic on panel or mixed media on paper,” she wrote. “They are explorations of\u00a0 form and color with the introduction of disparate materials. I have approached this with mesh, text, player piano paper, found objects, dress patterns, etc.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
