Amanda Mulcahy: EMERGENT  Opening Reception Fri.  June 23, 5-8pmDrawing inspiration from natural processes, I create  soft, vibrant ,  abstract pieces  inspired by the ways the earth continuously churns inert materials into complex forms. In the  Emergent series, I translate images through multiple iterations of building up surfaces and breaking down material. I begin by deconstructing abstract paintings and rearranging them into brightly colored collages. These collages are printed onto fabric. The fabric is cut  and stuffed to emphasize undulating forms.  Each step of the process leaves a lasting imprint, resonating through a series of permutations. The image goes from flat to full ; from inanimate to active and swirling. The resulting soft paintings unearth ways elemental marks and materials can, through dynamic changes, grow in complexity.
