Jordan Acker Anderson will exhibit new paintings inspired by the Lauritzen Gardens grounds and botanical collection. The work will be representative of the artist’s style in abstract symbolism, repetitive mark making, and vibrant color. Her paintings are visual meditations on our impermanence, awareness of cyclical time, and connection with nature.
Artist Statement
In my practice, I respond to our interconnectedness through the act of painting. My compositions are a call and response between states of disruption and integration. I layer and detach from previous studio sessions to create a mindful aesthetic that reflects our impermanence. My imagery develops through intuitive actions and interpretations of observations drawn from daily life. I use compositions as a way to mark time and create symbolic calendars. I structure compositions on bilateral order and relieved symmetry as these connect to embodiment and nature. My works become visual prayers that hold my concern. The process is a meditation in its act, and the result is an accumulation of mark, memory, and symbolism.
