Leah Faure, painter, has long been fascinated with architectural forms and
the patterns and textures they create. She will discuss her thought process
and painting technique through a comparison of architecture painting and
painting of nature.

 

Tracie Broughton, painter, will discuss the theme and questions posed to
artists regarding harmony between architecture and nature, in relationship
to her own work and the works of other artists in the exhibit.

About the Exhibit

What happens when the natural world meets the man-made?

Architecture is often viewed as an intrusion; the "built" world cannot exist
without changing and re-shaping the natural one. But this process need not
be destructive.

How does architecture complement the natural world?

Like nature, architecture adapts. The "built" world can dominate the natural
one, but it can also become a part of it. When the two successfully coexist,
the beauty of both can emerge.

What happens when the two worlds merge?

 

In "Fostering Harmony: the Symbiotic Relationship of Architecture and
Nature," artists were invited to examine these and other themes. Through
painting, photography and sculpture the exhibit explores what happens when
the built and natural worlds meet.
