Nancy Sansom Reynolds

My newest works are part of the “water + four seasons” series. The feel of water is inherent within the flowing and undulating forms. The designated seasons are descriptive of the form and color. This series includes the continuation of the “nautilus” works, which are reminiscent of ocean shells and waves, as well as plant and leaf – like forms. All of the works express a feeling of unformed floating organisms – organisms that could be human, plant or animal.

The flowing ribbon - like forms are part of the on - going “Arc” and “Twist” series. They describe an architectural type of undulating movement having a beginning and end point and relating to the space around it.
