Kristen Lethem
My work is primarily about the exploration of patterns within the landscape created by the interplay between topography, vegetation, shadow and light. Each landscape has its own pattern, using a restricted palette helps me convey this to the viewer, drawing them into the work, allowing them to focus on the pattern forming a script and developing into the language of the landscape.
