Helen Altman: Tree Line
AMSET
April 16 – July 10, 2011
As a contemporary Texas artist, Altman recalls childhood memories as a significant influence throughout her artwork. Common themes found within her work are separation, loneliness, individuality and loss of identity illustrated through her usage of commonplace objects and materials in unusual ways. The 42 pieces of artwork featured in Tree Line include Altman’s highly-praised torch drawings, tree paintings, packing blankets, snow globes and goldfish bowls. These and other works featured in Tree Line center primarily on mimicry and replication.
