the society of layerists in multi-media

Mary Carroll Nelson

"Two sources of imagery capture my imagination: dramatic color photographs from space and mysterious crop formations known as agriglyphs.

I allude to these sky and earth phenomena by stippling dots of ink on layers of acrylic sheet plastic. The dots are equivalents for energy, in both particle and wave form, moving between dimensions. Light passing through the layers animates the piece as various patterns are revealed from one hour to the next.

I think of my work as shrines.

My intention is to express the holistic concept that everything is connected — the tangible and the intangible, memory, history, now and then, here and there — across time and space."
