Lorien Suarez-Kanerva Coalescing Geometries

In Coalescing Geometries' the painter expresses a creative response to her environment and an inner sense of the essence of natures growth force. The designs intricacy with its prismatic color sensibility springs from a love of nature and its patterns. The ethereal and kinetic sensations reflected in 'Coalescing Geometries' reflect the growth patterns found in living forms. These geometries we recognize and know from our sensorial experience of nature in our immediate environment. The geometries found in this monograph are associated with those seen in plant growth, flowers, waves, spirals in shells, pine cones and also in mineral structures such as crystals. While working with geometrical arrangements, she finds the movement, universal beauty and symmetry inherent to structures stemming from laws of growth. A shared numerical pattern in nature that permeates the arrangement of parts amongst the whole can be seen in the leaves and branches of a tree or the petals of a flower.
