Intersections: Lorrie Boydston

Boydston’s Midwest suburban upbringing has given her a unique perspective within this American subculture that provides a wide range of topics to explore including environment, architecture, conformity, spirituality, ideas of home, cultural diversity and time. Scenes of children at play, water, and everyday suburban life provide inspiration for her to capture little redeeming moments in an otherwise mundane environment. Drawn to the simplistic, formal architectural elements and the facades that shield us from the underlying stories, the artist shares with us three galleries of mixed media two-dimensional works.
