April 8: Nina Frances Burke
Prompt: inspired by Lou Haney, find a motif or a shape to trace. Fill the page with that shape until there is no empty space on the page.
Lou Haney (SSG Outreach Coordinator, exhibiting artist in She’s in Monochrome, Teeny Tiny Trifecta 1&2) is interested in ideas of repetition and the power of pattern in her work. She is also influenced by the Pattern and Decoration art movement of the 1970s. Find more of Lou’s work HERE.
“I chose this drill gauge (I have a collection of them) that I’ve been making drawings from for a couple of years. I find it to be a soothing, meditative practice, and it offers me a rare feeling of kinship to Bridget Riley, whose work I absolutely adore.”
— Nina Frances Burke
