VICKI SHER creates a reductive language from abstract, colorful lines and shapes on varying media. Over the past three decades, she has honed her aesthetic to capture the pertinent qualities of fluid geometric shapes. Presenting circles, oddly shaped squares, and half-moons that dance across translucent drafting film, Sher’s artwork aims to elevate an individual’s spirits.
