This oil painting is from the artist’s ongoing series of still-lifes depicting plants in interior spaces. Here, a flowerless cut stem in shades of green and a cut yellow-flowering plant rest on a surface.
Amy Applegate is interested in how knowledge and narratives guide and shape our lives. Her recent work is rooted in observational painting, as it is a way to document her experience of a particular time and place. Influenced by biological and environmental factors, Applegate visually records her decisions—both conscious and subconscious—and each work speaks as much to her process of looking and searching as it does to the finished product.
