‘Natural patterns’

“What Was Scattered Gathers, v8” (drypoint and collagraph on stained Kitakata paper), by Massachusetts artist Carolyn Webb, in her show “Carolyn Webb: Works on paper: Drawings and Prints,’’ at Salmon Fall Gallery, Shelburne Falls, Mass., through Oct. 1

The gallery says:

“This show highlights Webb's intricate and twisting work on paper. Delicate, winding lines arranged in patterns that evoke images of the natural patterns are highlighted with ephemeral pops of color. Webb's work weaves print and drawing to create a larger whole.”
