ABOUT AUDRA WEASER

Weaser, who is inspired by the abstraction of nature, aims to capture the moment “at which a connection is made between an exterior and inner reality.” She builds up successive layers of mixed media until she begins to see the composition emerging from below. She then takes a sander and quite literally excavates the layers back down and forms her composition using long, sweeping motions. The colors then begin to form a landscape, seemingly illuminated from within, that reveal a delicate, ethereal atmosphere and yet abstracted just enough that it mirrors the familiar.
