Join us for a Reception on Saturday, November 23 from 2-4pm
From color-infused paintings to video self-portraits, Paula Brett’s body of work incorporates various combinations of media dealing with ideas such as created identity, coincidence, ritual, and transitory spaces.
The limited edition photographs are Mandalas made from pieces of Candy, Jewels, Toys, Cars and other favorites. According to Paula, “The mandala symbolizes the law of the universe and since man is also a microcosm of the universe, many cultures believe that the mandala also symbolizes the human soul. Mandalas serve as collection point for universal forces…My intention with these mandalas is to arrange everyday sweets and favorite objects into a pattern which becomes sacred, where delicious turns divine, the enticing now exquisite.”
Brett has exhibited work in New York, CT, Chicago, San Francisco, Budapest and Romania.
