Paintings
Irene Wood is a Seattle based artist working mostly in acrylic and ink. Her current body of work includes landscapes drawn originally from her interest in the ancient Chinese “shan shui” brush paintings. Her bright interpretations reflect the layered experience of heritage and belonging. She is also exploring the kitchen table as a specific motif of understanding heritage and belonging. Both bodies of work, though vastly different in scale, ask how personal and collective histories imprint themselves onto space, whether they’re vast mountains or a simple wooden surface.
