Nature Patterns, Artwork by Kim Cridler and Tamara English
Archer Gallery is excited to present Nature Patterns, by Kim Cridler and Tamara English. The work in this exhibit highlights the symbolic, spiritual, and psychological power of nature. The forms used in these oil paintings and metal sculptures speak to, and are inspired by, nature’s awe-inspiring beauty. In a time where climate change is at the forefront of public and political discourse, this exhibit presents an alternative, parallel relationship with the Environment and how we navigate internally in the midst of challenging times. Cridler’s work highlights the importance of materials, and how the ideal of beauty in nature and craft are important. English presents the inner life symbolized by a garden, where one may cultivate well being and upliftment. While Tamara English and Kim Cridler live hundreds of miles apart and each have unique art practices, both artists utilize the visual vocabulary of the natural world with reverence to point to the potential for change as a central part of the human experience.
