About the Item
Pebbles, sand and pigment on panel
Artist Statement
My artistic practice has been profoundly influenced by exposure to two vastly different environments. Firstly, growing up in London with minimal art and Modern architecture. This gave me the visual language of reduced and economical form and a fascination with systems, repetition and order. Secondly, the regular witnessing of the raw power of the coastline. This presented chaos, giving me an awareness of natural laws and an interest in physical matter.
I have been influenced in how scientific research influences our understanding of the natural world. Through observing nature and biomimicry, I have developed a process that allows me to 'draw' with a sand solution. This painstaking method enables the creation of form through line and texture around which other materials and pigments are then accumulated over time. The aim is to explore and mimic processes in the natural environment and continues my obsession with geometry, measure of the earth.
By reducing compositional elements to the minimum, I can explore natural pattern. I use repetition, sorting and accumulation to emphasise the organic ordering of parts to create heavily textured surfaces. Concentrating on patterns of repetition that are present on many scales, reminiscent of satellite imagery and microscopy.
Through my work I seek to reach a combination of these ingredients, aiming for a point of both tension and harmony where a frisson occurs. I aim to create pieces that provoke contemplation on the similarity and complexity of mathematical patterns around us.

Martha Winter was born in 1966 in London. Her work is the unusual outcome of many influences. Growing up with minimal art and modern architecture has influenced her visual language of reduced and economical form. She is fascinated by systems, repetition and order, often working in series. Winter also regularly witnessed the extreme erosion of the coastline which gave her an interest in the natural processes involved in forming the landscape, explored further during a trip to the Galapagos. Nature’s patterns are of great interest to Winter, her recent work explores the never ending permutations of pattern within the seascape. Through observing nature and exploring biomimicry, Winter has developed unique processes, creating heavily textured permanent wall pieces reminiscent of satellite imagery and microscopy. Her process involves the slow layering of pigments and the drifting of sand. Through the slow build up of layers, Winter creatives strong meditative pieces of great subtlety.
Winter has worked in conjunction with architects to create large series of work for specific locations. Her work is commissioned by designers for private clients, hotels, cruise ships, offices and institutions. The work goes from the studio to locations across the globe.

Chasmanthium Insignias: Abstract Encaustic Painting with Green, Earth Tones
By Allyson Levy
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract encaustic painting with a green, earth toned palette.
Made with natural plant material (Northern Sea Oats)
"Chasmanthium Insignias I" made by Allyson Levy in 2021
encaustic and plant material on wood panel, 24 x 24 x 1 inches
Lightweight, hangs with one d-ring, Signed, verso
This modern abstract encaustic painting by Allyson Levy is made with Northern Sea Oats and green encaustic, sealed with a layer of neutral wax on a wood panel. The artist begins by finding the organic material in her 4-acre garden in upstate New York which she then arranges and embeds with encaustic on a wooden panel. The brown, earth toned sea oats are laid in a linear pattern on a wood panel with a surface of green encaustic and then sealed with clear wax. The encaustic wraps around to the sides of the panel, revealing some bumps and downward drips, accumulated during the natural drying process. The piece is lightweight and hangs on one d-ring.
About the artist and her work:
After moving to the rural town of Stone Ridge, NY seventeen years ago and starting a 4-acre botanical garden with her husband, mixed media artist, Allyson Levy, has found endless inspiration in the plant kingdom that surrounds her. The garden itself, named “Hortus Conclusus”, consisting of thousands of rare plants and edibles, remains at the epicenter of Levy’s art making. A fascination with earth’s bounty is expressed with her works in encaustic. Assorted organic material such as leaves, seeds, branches, insect wings...
