This piece is a continuation of my lacy vase series, continuing the theme of creating complementing paint and lace patterns. Unlike the last form based on waves and curves, this piece is based on a sharper, more angular geometry. As the vase widens in the middle, a painted pattern of bright angular brushstrokes emerges from underneath the black lacy panels. The lace cutouts, the painted pattern, and the overall shape of the vase all reflect similar angularity. However, similar to my previous piece, the painted pattern gives a softer version of the same visual language as the lace does.
I’ll be continuing to explore similar themes in my next two posts.
