Marilee Salvator displays her exquisite exhibit by placing her largest piece of art, an installation, entitled "Growth Patterns" as you enter her exhibit, preceded by framed art work throughout. "Growth Patterns" sets the theme, or foundation for all of her framed works of art. Marilee's individual pieces of art, both installation and framed connect to harmonize a perfect complete union, and as a whole compliment each piece individually. Marilee's wall installation displays an afocal perspective and a sound direction of its destination as if it is moving through space and time. Marilee's framed art work is a continuation of "Growth Patterns", but also a closure of the story it tells. Her art is a confluence of deep, intense emotion, coupled with unsettling creative desires. My favorite piece by Marilee is "Growth Patterns." The colors used for this particular piece are black, chocolate brown,purple, sea foam green,olive, cream,yellow and ocean blue, to name a few. The technique used for this piece is etching, and the material used is wood. All of the shapes vary in size. Some of the shapes are circles, and ovals -and there is also an aqua colored mass, which displays hundreds of tiny circles. It can become quite easy to lose yourself in the complexity of the intricate array of patterns displayed on each and every shape.
I was quite impressed with Marilee's lecture with regard to her exhibit. When I first experienced the exhibit weeks earlier, it left with me the impression of oceanic marine life, but now that I have heard the story behind her work, I can definitely see the connection and know that the inspirations behind her work reflect her objective.
My feelings and thoughts with regard to Marilee's artistic content have left the impression of hope. I feel a positive energy radiate from within her exhibit. It has given me the inspiration to reflect once again on all of the positives in my life.
