Michele Poirier Mozzone : Fractured Light

"I wanted to create a series that made you feel warm - an intimate body of work that brings you back home, whatever or wherever that is; that reassurance that you always have this safe haven amongst everything else." - Davariz Broaden

Michele Poirier Mozzone's artwork celebrates the universal experiences, memories, and sensations of being in the water and invite the viewer to respond in their own unique way. The contemporary figurative paintings in her Fractured Light series explore the transformative effect of water and sunlight on the human form. Within the works that make up Fractured Light, water is representative of life and change. Bubbles are placeholders for the ideas and intentions that rise from individuals to the open air. The viewer is invited to place themselves within the context of these works to experience broken ribbons of sunlight, fascinating distortions, sounds of rushing bubbles, and the weightless, slow dance of movement which all occur below the water’s surface within this fluid, transformative environment.
