Lisa A Frank – Nature of Pattern

By Patternbank On September 5, 2012 · In Inspiration

These beautiful photographic patterns are constructed from daily snapshots that Lisa A Frank takes while walking in the woods, then the images are “sewn” together through extreme image layering and masking. From the Artists Statement “Choosing to focus on natural elements that are not commonly appreciated or used for decorative purposes, my artwork is connected to the “wildness” in nature even as it is taming it by the cre-ation of formal patterning. Creating a context for connection, it is my purpose to draw the viewer into a local world as it hasn’t been seen before – charged with wonder – rich, complex and changeable while being inclusive and accessible.” For more of these wonderful and magical patterns check out Lisa A Frank Photography.
