Maggie Pate Maggie Pate Portals are gateways. In an abstract sense, they are a window to our imagination. “Portals Series” explores this concept by utilizing silk botanically printed with local flora and foliage, encased within discarded window frames. These thresholds are an apparition of the Natural World, enlisting Nature as artistic collaborator. They are a snapshot of a moment in time —the fingerprint of Mother Nature as one season fades into the next. The artist would like to urge the viewer to see the magic of Nature, with a desire to inspire dialogue on environmental conservation. PROJECT “Portals Series” COUNTY Columbia Year 2024
