Oh my word. This is the breathtaking work of American artist Anne Patterson, today’s member in the spotlight. I’m going to let this excerpt from her ‘about page’ do the talking, because it’s perfect:

Patterson’s work is inspired by the concept of multiplicity, and a fascination with the connection between parts and their whole. What happens when you start with one simple material or shape and multiply it? Why is the whole so much greater than the sum of its parts? How do instances of material innumberability stand to function as metaphor in our society? 

Patterson’s art explores these questions by utilizing one material in great multiplicity – 7 miles of aluminum wire strands, 100’s of lengths of piano wire or 34 miles of satin ribbon – to create awe-inspiring metaphorical works, which encapsulate the transformational power of group dynamics. Her work explores how using one shape, material, or form repeatedly can create something larger than the sum of its parts – something great and overwhelming in its scale and beauty. As the individual parts amass, together, they take on qualities that transcend those of the parts, resulting in powerful visual and kinetic effects that amaze, astonish, and uplift. 

Yes, yes they do! You can find Anne on Instagram at @annepattersonstudio.

Have a wonderful, creative, cozy weekend ~ Danielle
