‘Flowers as departure point’

“Bouquet “(color block & polka dots), (collage, acrylic & silkscreen on canvas), by Emily Filler, in her show “Wild Flowers,’’ at Lanoue Gallery, Boston, through March 26.

The gallery says:

“Canadian artist Emily Filler weaves painting, printmaking and photography together in her ‘painterly collages’. Using old photographs, pieces of fabric, and silk-screened images to create imaginary landscapes and whimsical bouquets of flowers, Filler’s artwork walks the line between the real and imaginary. Flowers act as a departure point to a world that dissolves into abstraction, whereby creating a sense of the familiar, but also the feeling that one is falling into a dream. What began as fragments are finalized into a complete image, something whole.’’
