Solitare, 1993
Ann Gardner
(American, born 1947)
Location: Wahluke School District, Mattawa
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Ann Gardner constructed Solitare as a collage made from monoprints, which she cuts up and "quilts" back together. A monoprint is created by painting directly onto the printing plate, and only one print copy can be made from the plate. She uses pattern to "focus on the importance of seemingly inconsequential daily tasks that weave a social fabric helping center and ground people in their daily lives. This patterning reflects a sense of order on the most basic level and is not only found in this culture but many different cultures in their weavings, pottery, quilting etc."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Wahluke School District.
