Peace Project by Amy Loewan MFA |
The use of fundamental shapes such as the square and the circle bring to bear timeless symbols, which denote complete equality - with all sides equal - and universal concepts that reference the sun, the origins of life, and basis of numerical systems.

Paper Weave represents Amy’s current exploration to create art works that address
social and cultural concerns. Using more than 30 world languages, she
weaves together words that represent an intertwining of world cultures
and religions in a universal vision for a peaceful world. On the paper
strips appear eight values vital in our human relationships: compassion,
kindness, respect, understanding, patience, tolerance, gentleness and
forgiveness.
“This
work provides for me, a quiet, persistent, meditative process. I begin
by cutting strips of rice paper and weaving them together, creating
something of strength and resilience from fragile, humble and elemental
materials of rice paper, ink, charcoal and pastel.”
