Anne Siems, 2015
"By adopting 17th and 18th-century American folk motifs, Seattle-based Anne Siems' portraits and still lifes emit a haunting awkwardness. With rosy cheeks, haunted gaze and flattened features, Siems' highly stylized figures inhabit a dreamy colonial landscape. As the world itself seems frozen in time, the transparent figures float in the foreground, forever youthful and mysterious.” [x]
