Allison Miller’s painted line

Just discovered the work of Allison Miller, an L.A based artist, and am thoroughly seduced by the way she uses the painted line to build her compositions.

From an interview with Allison Miller in ArtSlant:

“The plants I have and see when I’m walking around are a huge influence. There is an asymmetry to the point of being absurd in the forms and growth patterns of some of these plants and trees. I also have quite a big collection of seed pods. And rocks. And coins that I’ve put on train tracks. But it is the relationships between the forms within the paintings that these natural (and unnatural) objects have the most effect on. It is how forms butt up against each other and overlap each other in nature that is the most interesting. Unholy combinations all over the place.”
