ABOUT THE ARTWORK
'Coalescence' is an expressively colorful abstract painting by artist Miro Fitzgerald. This piece is part of a body of work composed using a metronome to guide the artist's layering of repetitive brushstrokes. She notes, "The intent of the work is not to have the mind see objects or realistic elements in the work but rather regard it as a movement, a pattern of depth and motion much like one would view water patterns, the movement of sleet, snow, or the aerial perspective one experiences while flying and looking down."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Tonasket School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
