ARTIST STATEMENT

L J Douglas is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is visually associated with abstract landscape. Douglas creates work in printmaking, artists’ books, animation, and painting. Douglas’s work is not site specific but rather a landscape of memory, an amalgam of past experiences of place that becomes a library of lines, shapes and textures. Her interpretation of landscape, is informed by a multitude of cross-currents in the arts; Non-Western Art, textiles, mapping, and music. Douglas’s goal is to assert the role of art to provoke thought and reflection, engage the viewer in visual metaphor and express the contemporary condition of the individual with memory through referencing landscape..
