Fragments of Alliance

In Fragments of Alliance, Barbara Smith Gioia creates a world that is open to interpretation and invites one into an abstract space that communicates potential and possibility, humanity and joy. She works with abstraction and improvises her way through a painting with printing and collage encouraging spontaineity and experimentation while providing new pathways. The physical rhythm of printing begins the process of translating marks, paint, and color into a free-form dance that combines a set of mechanistic rules with plenty of natural freedom.
