Terry Winter's art had a lot of recurring themes and that gave me the impression that he was experimenting and learning as he created his art. Some of those themes are the knots, which I didn't like but he used a lot, the dots or squares connected by lines, and the netting or webbing which I loved and he seemed to find a different way to twist in every piece he used it. Some of his pieces, like the layered one with red and blue, were so layered and complex it seemed that every time you looked at it you saw something different. I like this in art, I like it to require you to think and have to dissect it in your mind. I was also impressed by Terry Winters ability to put things from real life, like the knots, into the prints and make them look like they fit into the abstract image. This was a great exhibit to see and I hope to see pieces by him somewhere else.

Abigail,
I loved reading 2 different posts (yours and Claire's) about the same exhibit. By highlighting different images and and your reactions to them, you each depicted for me, distinct imagines of the same art. I have co-mingled/layered these images in my mind's eye to create my own image of Terry Winter's art. You've inspired me to go see it for myself!
I love your writing style: descriptive yet direct. Keep sharing!
