Wendy Letven: Lines Falling Together in Time
Feb 29—Jul 18, 2020
Opening Reception: Feb 29, 4–8pm
Curator: Lynn Hai
Letven’s art practice includes installations, sculptures, drawings, paintings and artist’s books. She explores a personal language of abstraction through different art mediums, with a focus on her interest in exploring and interpreting natural form, pattern, repetition and rhythm through her reductive creative process. She believes in the importance of abstract connections between phenomena, and seeks inspiration from other fields, including music, poetry, science and philosophy to build up an aesthetic synaesthesia shared among these different disciplines.
