Carrie Lederer's work consists of ornate compositions that use a pattern-based topography to portray ideas about land and our natural world, which is evident in "Abstracted Garden (Study in Green, Blue and Orange)." The imagery, both realistic and abstract, are akin to nature’s ecosystems, where one hub of activity finds connection with the next. The inspiration for her work stems from a personal curiosity about nature, our connection to it, and a fascination with its immense power and beauty.
