| Publisher Description: As a life-long New Yorker, Marilyn Henrion's aesthetic vision has always been deeply rooted in the urban geometry of her surroundings, from her earlier hand-quilted geometric abstractions to the more recent mixed media works. The Patchwork City series, created between 2015 and 2017, captures the energy and vitality of the ever-changing urban landscape. The new works are composed of the artist's own digitally manipulated architectural photographs which are pigment-printed on linen, cut apart and reassembled to create collages on stretched canvas. Some also incorporate hand quilting on silk, a technique present in her earlier works. Often focusing on the "window" and its metaphorical implications, Henrion transforms the "facts" of the material world to reflect her own experience of a particular place, much as Edward Hopper had done in the last century. |
