WPR Reflections from Allison Belolan

"WPR Foraged 1" is a striking minimalistic composition that captures the essence of nature's elegance. This piece presents a captivating array of natural elements thoughtfully arranged against a pristine white background. Each item—whether it's dried flowers, ferns, twigs, small branches, pieces of bark, or stones—finds its own unique space in a grid-like pattern, creating a harmonious and balanced visual display.

The meticulous layout of these natural objects invites viewers to appreciate their form, texture, and subtle colors, highlighting the often-overlooked beauty found in nature. The artwork encourages a moment of reflection and a deeper appreciation for the simple yet profound wonders of the natural world.

Inspired by foraging excursions at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, this piece is part of the WPR series. The process involved a careful selection and arrangement of items discovered during these explorations, infusing the composition with a sense of place and personal connection to the landscape. The result is a visually calming and thought-provoking artwork that resonates with anyone who finds solace in the natural world.
