Beauty at the intersection of digital and handmade
Phillippa Lack, a native of Jamaica transplanted to the prairie, creates both abstract and figurative compositions on fabric in which she explores the intersection of digital and handmade art. Her current collection — Floral Audacity — showcases visually commanding floral images that draw on a variety of media and methods and are quite simply a pleasure to behold.
Phillippa’s works are autobiographical in that she draws on her history in her choice of subject matter and method. In Jamaica, Phillippa got an early start in art. She was educated at a Presbyterian-Methodist girls’ boarding school, where hand embroidery was taught every day. She’s been following her artist’s path ever since, and she now transforms and updates the traditional handcraft process by employing digital tools that she guides and manipulates to match her creative vision.
Phillippa’s tropical roots influence her color choices. Across all her work, Phillippa uses rich, vivid colors that recall the flora of the Caribbean. In her Floral Audacity series, she starts with the intimacy and pure beauty of flowers she’s nurtured to bloom in her garden in Wyoming. Using these flowers as a starting point, Phillippa then creates unique and wondrous works that blend her love of handmade and digital art.
