Construction 20/20: Work by Phoebe Tree

I am mesmerized and captivated by lines, form, color and “see” things in terms of lines, geometric shapes, patterns and sculptural qualities in all objects, buildings, faces and just about everything in the visual world. My work also explores the relationship between materials, design and function, related to our collective human memory. The name of the site is based upon these ideas in my work and curiosity about everyday objects in all environments.  My art influences include: Moholy-Nagy, Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Louise Nevelson, Noguchi, Antonio Tapies, Paul Klee, Richard Serra, Martin Puryear, Kandinsky, Alfred Hitchcock, Richard Hunt, Stanley Tigerman, deKooning, Basquiat, Miro, Buckminster Fuller, Frank Gehry and Carole Eisner. Function follows form and/or form follows function in my work.
