Two-sided painting, male portrait and figure riding horse.
Foggy, mountainous landscape
Polychrome (yellow, orange, black, and gray) abstract forms in watercolor applied to center of paper
A geometric pattern familiar from many global traditions--whether textiles like American quilts, Persian carpets, Laotian appliques, and Bhutanese kira or tiled walls and floors or woodwork, Amighi has here harnessed patterns into a metal-and-shadow sculpture. The tightly tessellated pattern gradually disintegrates both in its shadow and in its form. Work includes a light in addition to the metal and fiberglass mesh sculpture.
