Artist Comments
"This piece is composed of fragments from significant places in my life," shares artist Linnie Brown. Strong linear and geometric shapes appear stacked together with layers of brown, yellow, teal, grey, and pink. "Elements of revision, harmony, dissonance, and space become meditations on the process of navigating one’s identity."

About the Artist
Linnie Brown is an artist based in Utah who creates mixed-media artworks using collage, paint, printmaking, and drawing. The significant places and locations from her life are a recurring theme throughout her portfolio. Linnie uses stencils that allude to significant places from her own life, including the floor plans of buildings and the boundaries of cities. She cuts these shapes out of paper for collage or traces them directly onto the panel or paper. She then builds the layers based on her intuition. To Linnie, every person is an accumulation of his or her past, and the memories of specific places such as former homes, schools, and cities, have a great influence on the way that person currently views and engages in life.
