Meg Pierce, an artist now living in Sarasota FL, creates sensitive, complex and detailed mixed media work. Recent art uses evocative layering of original photography, found objects or fiber.

Detail. Trims and Notions      

 

“Maps” series cellophane tape is used to transfer tiny bits of weather maps from newspapers onto paper boards. The intricate lines, muted colors and symbols are painstakingly arranged in the format of the ancient forms of labyrinths or mazes sometimes embellished with watercolor or pencil.

"Trims and Notions" explores repetition and variations of small insignificant objects: mainly sewing notions and vintage fibers. Layering and nuance mirror the quality of memory itself- burying and surfacing in complex ways.
