SENTIENT FORMS
BY SAM PAT CRAWFORD
Sam Pat Crawford’s 2022 – 2023 series “Sentient Forms” is a work of abstract paintings inspired by the tension of positive and negative space, transparencies, and emotional representation through shapes.
She explores the human tendency to attribute emotion and personality to inanimate shapes through paintings of organic forms. The forms interact and have conversations with one another. However, the viewer’s interpretations of the interactions may be more of an inward reflection of the viewer and how they see the relationships around themselves.
