Artist Statement
Patti Campbell (formerly Agapi) is an Orillia, Ontario based abstract artist who works across the mediums of paint, collage and fibre art. She creates through a meditative application and layering of materials.. Each work is a process of building up, covering up, reflection and finally fruition. Always striving to conjure interesting manifestations in colour and form, she is guided by the relationship between layers and their alchemic responses. In this process, each layer moves the work forward towards conclusion. Each work unfolds a visual story to be interpreted in infinite ways.
Her current stream of work focuses on questions of memory; how each person feels the present through an echo lens of past interactions; the negative and the positive reaching forward to create new experiences. Her creative process strives to reflect this core theme. Her busy mind buzzes with these questions and she invites the viewer to reflect on them as well.
