Taking cues from the traditions of West Coast hard-edge painting and inspired by a childhood spent in the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, Debbi Kenote’s conceptual works experiment with patterns and abstraction. Pushing the limits of the physical substrates of art, Kenote has in recent years designed interlocking canvases that upon first glance evoke a quilt-like appearance. Bolting together panels and dyed canvas, she creates works that straddle both painting and sculpture, defying easy classification.
