CARLA WEEKS

 

Carla Weeks is a painter based in Midcoast Maine. Informed by her personal interactions with both the natural landscape and built environment, she utilizes abstraction to navigate through the physical and emotional experience of place. Employing a distinct shape vocabulary to formally explore color relationships, her paintings articulate the shifting nuances of sensory memory.

In Verdant, Weeks reflects on the relationship between architecture and nature from her home in forested coastal Maine. The gridded structure and linework of each piece reveal abstract depictions of trees and plant-like forms, as if viewed through panes of glass. The palettes reference the infinite variations of color that can be observed in the forest; from the interplay of light in the tree canopy to the mosses and lichens on the forest floor. Weeks views these paintings as meditative windows, encouraging consideration of our place within the natural world.
