Friday Favorite: Christine Gedeon

This Friday’s featured artist is Christine Gedeon!
I especially love her Plots series of stitched works!
Plot 3, thread, paint and fabric on raw canvas,

She writes:
Using a sewing machine, fabric and paint on raw canvas, and inspired by aerial view landscape drawings and maps, I invent 'plots' that are neither true abstractions, nor complete landscapes but navigate between interpretative poles. With a limited palette and through an improvisational approach, these works are large in scale and hint to an unfamiliar impossible space, a space that allows viewers to detach and contemplate their relationship to the external world.

My most recent stitched works are inspired by the evolution of urban landscapes and how it ties to memory, focusing recently on New York City's topographical evolution. I use Google Earth and archival images to collect my data and use this information as a starting point to create this invented series of urban renewal projects.

Christine's work is so very different, you can *almost* see both mapped landscapes and other shapes in each of her pieces here.
The last one puts me in mind of a person laying across the landscape.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of such a different style of art with us, Mary :)
