Nancy Purington

Artist, curator, and consultant Nancy Purington observes water and its movement, seeking to capture nature’s truth, dynamism, and beauty. From her series TWELVE VIEWS OF WATER, FLAME STITCH ICE & SNOW is a digital photograph taken along Iowa’s Great River Road. It features sideways designs of snow and ice naturally arranged in what textile experts refer to as a flame-stitch pattern. “At that time, I was intrigued by the concept of ice in flame. But in truth, it is the indigo color of the ice and the pulled-arrow, ikat-looking pattern of snow that is at the heart of my attraction,” she says.
