Candace Briceno

My work is based on the observation of the extraordinary beauties within landscape. Those particular moments that reflect on the beauty and fascination of forms, colors and the silhouettes of decapitated trees and all its wonderfully abstracted forms. I use nature images such as flowers, grass, tree trunks and leaves and sew “painting sculptures” where one might experience the sensations of smell, touch and their own memory in my work. I have incorporated my painting background and fiber aesthetics with my desire to physically involve my audience with sensual and tactile surfaces. The work highlights those moments when we are entranced by the outdoors and how the work strives to sweeten the past that have been altered by our experiences.
