This piece is part of a series inspired by the surrounding color and geometry that Gourlay experienced in Umbria, Italy.
It also plays with thoughts about sound and music and how that is reflected around a space.
The title subulo is the name for a flute in Etruscan and reflects her interest in the ancient stone sculptures and other artifacts that she saw from this culture.
Elizabeth Gourlay is an American abstract artist whose work emerges from a progressive process of layering colour, lines and forms, informed both by inner emotional states and her observation of nature and architecture. She lives and works in Chester (CT).
