Laura Harris - Patina
"This collection is a nod to the patina of life – the covetable, subtle, luscious layer of age that graces all things. The “Patina Vie” lives in the real moments of every day and only gets better with time. The pieces were created on a base of vintage linens, cotton, and parchment. Layers of materials are stretched, ripped, and torn into place with edges left raw and a little wild. Some of the pieces are designed to hang loose like a cherished, vintage tapestry. The collection is both gentle and edgy."
Wonderfully romantic and with an overwhelming sense of tranquility, Laura Harris conveys deep emotion through her contemporary paintings. By letting the paint find its way organically across the textured canvas or paper, Laura's cool and subdued palettes create evocative and sensual moods.
