PART OF A TRIPTYCH Exploring line and space, where the edges meet. Mixed media, collage, graphite, pencil. Miriam Traher is an intuitive artist, creating mixed media abstracts: led by colour, shapes, marks and lines as they are layered and responded to. Her work is vibrant, expressive and full of visual texture, bringing life and joy to homes.
The process involves layering paint, collage, paint and more paint, creating layers and layers with colours, shapes and designs that are scraped, sanded, scratched and dug into, repainted, revealing and leaving bits of the past, the history of each layer. A story emerges that blends this history with the final design, rich in texture. The beauty is in the discovery, the rich surface and hidden bits that can only be seen getting in close and exploring its secrets.
