Pamela Harris
Pamela Harris’s latest body of work examines systems, patterns and the ways in which they cycle and replicate. Patterns exist in every thing, from how one thinks, feels and processes information to how a city, ant hill or chair is built. To create them she follows basic architectural principles of construction, for those principals conceptually mirror genetics. Each layer of pastel or charcoal can support, join, enhance or disguise another layer. The process creates random mutations, suggesting formation of new elements or colonies. The beauty and elegance of these drawings co-exist with their readiness to spin out of control. The more one looks, the more intuitively familiar they become.
Pamela Harris has exhibited widely since 1993, including solo exhibitions at Linda Kirkland and Clementine Gallery. She’s been in numerous group shows, most recently May 2003 at White Columns. Her work has been reviewed extensively by publications including the New York Times, Flash Art International and Newsday. Harris graduated from the Hartford Art School and lives and works in New York City near the scenic Holland Tunnel. She can be contacted at pjane@mindspring.com. Images © Pamela Harris |
