absorb







Jeffrey Allen Price, is a multimedia and interdisciplinary Installation artist. His work often alludes to natural processes such as growth and decay and ultimately comments on consumerism and materialistic culture. His work is often process based and accumulative, humorous and playful.

His statement: “ .... I seek the personal and the universal. I often include organic elements or recycled materials with real and implied transformations taking place in the work. ......... My installations are typically room sized collages of various fragments, assemblages, accumulations of processes I have been engaged with for over 15 years.”

connecting the dots










The traditional Indian Rangoli, drawn as an auspicious symbol in front of most Indian homes, has a very simple beauty about it. Innumerable patterns are born from a basic grid of dots, from the simple to the complex, from straight line geometrical ones to fluid curvilinear ones. The possibilities are unending..... it is the maker of the rangoli who imagines a pattern in the dot matrix and brings it to life!
