Brigitte Parusel, Geometric Relationships #1, _2022, Paper, Pencil, Color Pencil
By Brigitte Parusel
Located in Darien, CT
Brigitte Parusel's works are underlined by an emphasis on experimentation and her interest in working within the limitations of a system.
Her drawings are part of an ongoing exploration of a geometric pattern of interconnected circles. The pattern is the basis for her large-scale installations, spatial sculptures and folded works.

Norma Márquez Orozco, Purple Shapes, 2018, Translucent Paper, Minimalist, 31x31
By Norma Marquez Orozco
Located in Darien, CT
Norma Marquez Orozco explores concepts of impermanence, perception, form and balance through physical movement of the work itself in a lucid, game-like context, like puzzles. All the elements are made of paper, molded into three-dimensional forms. The repetitive geometric shapes are assembled inside boxes built out of translucent paper. The arrangement is random and unfixed to allow movement and unpredictable composition.
The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different exchanges between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes, as well as the sense that change is constantly occurring as the elements shift and move.
When one looks at these compositions, you see them for the first time, every time, because what is creating and completing the artwork is always changing; such as light, weather and forms merge and interact. As a result of these dynamic relationships, the work extends beyond her personal hand, sustaining an appearance and composition entirely of its own.
Norma Márquez Orozco was
born
in
Chicago,
Illinois,
and
raised
in
Guadalajara,
Jalisco,
Mexico.
Her work can be seen as an investigation into the way relationships emerge and evolve when elements like color, form, shape, lines, angle and pattern are blended, shifted and layered.
She currently lives and works in New York City. Marquez Orozco
