Susan Adamé collages consist of contemporary abstract geometric compositions suspended in pools of color. The collages begin watercolor paintings that sets the color tone and palette. These watercolor paintings create a feeling of movement or flowing water as well as giving the art depth and dimension. From a distance you can see the strong abstract composition and as you approach you are drawn in by the added depth from the underlying painting and layers of paper and paint. Each piece invites the viewer to linger and view the details including skeleton leaves, fabric and maps. The use of lines and circles in the composition are reminiscent of the body and the spirit and give the composition grounding, strength and unity.
