FRAGMENTS OF FORM EXHIBITION FEATURED ARTISTS

"Nature, Reconstructed"

by Mary Hannigan

Artist Statement: "This artwork explores the relationship between the organic and the industrial through layers of repurposed printmaking papers, ink, and paint pens. I deconstructed and reassembled fragments of my own prints, allowing unexpected shapes, textures, and marks to emerge. By combining discarded pieces into a new composition, I explore how fragments can be transformed, connected, and given new meaning."

    LONE STAR AWARD

    "She Wore Yellow for Hope"

    by Melanie M Brannan

    Artist Inspiration: "She was quiet, rooted in strength. Her legacy: environmental and cultural; believing that beauty is essential to life. As a child, I was drawn to the wildflowers she championed. Even near the end, greatly disabled, she insisted on visiting a museum—testimony to her devotion to experiencing  beauty."
