MEET SPOON

"WHAT IS THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION NEEDED TO PERCEIVE
FORM?"
"CAN STRUCTURE CONVEY FLUIDITY AND MOVEMENT?"

These were the original questions behind SPOON's graphic experimentation that
ultimately led to the development of her uniquely recognizable style. Removing content
until the subject is unrecognizable, she slowly reintroduces data and color in search of
the threshold where visual and mental perceptions are balanced.
What began as an idea she was testing for fun quickly turned into something distinctive
that can now be seen at Fortune 500 companies, sport stadiums, luxury hotels,
museums and private residences around the world.
Every painting is composed and painted by hand, one dot at a time. In redacting a
subject to the edge of recognition, she challenges viewers to recompose only the
information that is absolutely necessary.
Distance, viewing angle, and even a camera lens change the way SPOON's artwork
resolves. As a result, everyone will experience it differently depending on their
perspective, not just mentally, but physically. This moving target of data assemblage
constantly challenges her to rethink each painting in a new way.
Her background in Urban Design and study of Architecture + Engineering have
undoubtedly shaped the way SPOON approached art and what led to her initial concept.
She also maintains a sense of environmental and social responsibility. By using the
techniques she learned as a LEED Green Professional (buying locally sourced non-toxic
material) and donating a portion of the proceeds from every painting sale to charity, she
tries to ensure that her success benefits the greater good.
