Thank you to artist / art writer Abraham Storer of the Provincetown Independent, for your insight and thoughtful words about my exhibition that is currently on view at Farm Projects, a contemporary art space in Wellfleet, MA. I am so grateful for your beautiful review of my show. See link in bio for full article and images. Here are a few quotes: “References to the natural world are abundant in Lederer’s vibrantly colored works on paper, currently on view at Farm Projects in Wellfleet. She describes her view of nature as straddling extremes between ‘macro and micro’ and ‘above and below.’ In Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates (Eyes in Sky), the environment seems to be both underwater and celestial. Sea grasses snake through a busy field of spider webs and stains of color. A star-studded midnight blue sky hovers above — and even there, swirling vines find their way up to the stars and start to coalesce into biomorphic forms. In another piece, Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates II, the nighttime sky becomes a network of neurons and synapses. Natural elements exist as a cosmic and wondrous whole, part of her intent to make viewers ‘see the environment from the recesses of soil to the cosmos beyond us.’ “ “Lederer’s approach to painting echoes the growth of the forms she depicts. She jumps into creative work without planning anything: ‘I just watch what happens,’ she says. Each area she finishes in a painting leads her to the next section. This sense of gradual discovery is evident in Abstracted Garden I, where she establishes an environment with washes of color and improvises and embellishes as she continues. Some areas are filled with marks and gestures, while others include shapes cut from fabric. Her subtle integration of collaged elements feels like a kind of infestation that introduces new textures and elements into the surface.” @farmprojects @susie_farm @provincetownindependent @abestorer @wellfleetculturalcouncil #privincetownindependent #abestore #farmproject #wellfleet #capecod #localartgallery #natureinspired #surreallandscape #fractalartist #aboveandbelow #microandmacro #gardeninspiration #painter #fabriccollage #cosmosart #carrielederer (at Wellfleet, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci28ZeMgJbd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
