Artist Statement
Sandra Lerner’s work investigates the mystical geometric order of Nature and is drawn from images of celestial charts, maps, basic geometry, botanical drawings, Fibonacci Numbers, the Golden Section, and drawings made from the random scattering of seeds. Materials included fresco on wood, collage, drawings, seeds, and encaustic. The resulting images are abstract in their use of space and color but have specific links to elements in the natural world and basic geometrical structures. The intent is to make works that retain a measure of the mystery of nature but also refer to the clarity of science.
