Samara Weaver, Untitled, 2021

Materials: Watercolor, trace paper, wood, MDF

Dimensions: Frame 12.5 x 12.5 inches; exterior 15 x 16 inches

Artist Statement: I have always been fascinated with materiality. I use different materials to explore texture, color, and perspective. I combine large numbers of smaller often simple elements into multi-faceted compositions, gaining complexity and space from their combination. My work often elicits emotion, invites touch and entices the observer to explore it further with multiple senses.
