Gallery Exclusive for Washington
Carrie Ann's work explores the intersection of science, data, and transformation. Drawing on visualizations of scientific phenomena, she investigates the hidden structures of the microcosm through layered systems of geometry and interference. Each composition reveals strata of concealed order, inviting reflection on the underlying harmonies that shape our world.
Sources such as electron microscopy imagery, moiré patterns, and mathematical order theory provide the foundation for works that concretize universal substructures. Through rigorous calculation paired with artistic intuition, Carrie Ann constructs intersecting patterns that generate new forms, unfolding into intricate visual compositions.
Collaboration is part of her practice. Partnerships with academic institutions, scientific organizations, and research labs provide access to imaging technologies and intellectual property, offering a wealth of material for translation into visual language. This exchange allows Carrie Ann to probe latent structures embedded in both macro and micro systems.
Carrie Ann's process adapts traditional printmaking matrices, woodcut and serigraphy, where works evolve from drawings into carved blocks and layered transparent inks transferred through the press. This labor-intensive method yields distinctive marks that cannot be replicated by brush, emphasizing repetition, iteration, and fine detail.
