About the Item

"The transparency makes the shape of the flower clear. Gossamer, translucent. Seeing through to a dream garden. A real and unreal space. Beauty. Budding, unfolding. Dying. Precious moments. Disturbed by flowers." - Gail Norfleet Flowers abound on multi-dimensional, transparent layers of Lucite where Norfleet creates complex “fields” that reveal her love of nature and the forms of flowers. The flowers unfold as fluidly painted blooms or as cut black and white line drawings collaged with vases or architectural motifs among them. This transparency is a natural progression after years of making monoprints. In her background as a printmaker, she used plastic plates through which she could see the image before transferring it to paper by printing on a press. In these recent works, Norfleet succumbed to the allure of pigment on a transparent surface and began experimenting with space by layering multiple Lucite panels, working on both sides, to create up to four surfaces. For Norfleet, the process is critical to the content. These are created through a combination of painting and cutting and collaging paper drawings and photographs. Norfleet uses modern digital techniques to create the collage elements, but she is also a classicist in that she paints, mixes color, and draws from life the flowers that become her collages. Gail Norfleet earned her BFA at The University of Texas at Austin, and her MFA at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Among others, she has had solo exhibitions in Dallas at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary and the former Delahunty and DW galleries. She taught at Cedar Valley College for 12 years before devoting her attention to her studio and to private students. This is acrylic and cut paper collage on Lucite. The overall dimensions, including the frame, are 24 3/4 x 24 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches. This works well as a triptych with Spring #1 and Spring #3. The price of the triptych is $9,000.
