Anne J. Banks: 'Secrets'	Pat Segnan: 'Lines'
Envelope, by Anne Banks, 2007	Big Time, by Pat Segnan, 2007
"Secrets are mysteries hidden in the forms of art, subject to the viewer's perception and meanings. Like assemblage in sculpture, collages come together as statements of the materials at hand. These collages are inspired by nature, memories, the remembered colors and shapes of landscape, architecture and archetypal icons. Specific images may come from people, events, personal experiences, or associations in the mind, to create a mood or idea allowing the viewer to project a personal vision or interpretation into the work. Collage, like visual poetry, is a metaphor on a small scale, for larger scale structures in the world." --Anne J. Banks	LINES is an exhibit of new paintings on canvas, which are derived from a series of minimalist pen and ink drawings. This recent series of 47 small works were subsequently reproduced in Venice in a book entitled Disegni. The drawings and book were presented and shown in Venice last Fall, and were also shown this Spring in Rome. The work is an abstraction of letters and symbols in space which refer to figures in a landscape – of people, birds, trees, -- representing everyday life. -- Pat Segnan
