Marianne Anderson
"My interest is rooted in how we learn and draw from the past and return frequently to designs, motifs and patterns of historic and symbolic significance. By purposefully engaging with the past, my aim to highlight the importance of ornament in a modern context. Far from superfluous, ornament has always had its own vocabulary and meaning and i try to engage with this through my work."

Her work reminds me of my own art especially my laser cut patterns.
