Ways of Seeing
Ways of Seeing • Nancy Pickard • Anna Boss
Artists respond to what they see and feel in profoundly different ways. Their creations are a unique synthesis of individuality, knowledge and experience – the inner world and the outer world. These endless differences – both subtle and dramatic – are perfectly captured in the contrasting work of Nancy Pickard and Anna Boss.
Nancy’s mixed media works embrace a range of techniques and materials. Defying categorization, they explore human experience and culture, the restless, timeless drift of migration, and our changing relationship with other creatures. With hints of ancient ritual and enduring symbolism, her pieces are instinctive and personal, but imbued with collective spirit and a deep sense of shared identity.
The atmospheric landscape paintings of Anna Boss draw you into a world where light, texture, form and distance seem to shift, subtly and perpetually. You can almost hear the breeze animating grass, reeds and branches as the elements ebb and flow. Spending many hours walking and running through the places she paints, Anna’s engagement with them is compelling and palpable.
