JULIE MEHRETU




Mehretu, and Ethiopian born artist, creates large drawings. Her work is a response to city environments, the internet and the overwhelming layers of data that we live with and in today...

Her drawings are created by layering marks over a period of time. The marks are varied in size, shape, and transparency.... Some of the marks are traced from architecture, maps or other images.
The resulting effect is a "cloud" of lively marks, some you can identify, others remind you of feelings or actions. The work changes as you view it from different distances...

See morer of her work here... and here...
