Abstract
Anne Lindberg:
parallel 26 yellow
Artist Anne Lindberg creates abstract drawings and installations made from graphite and colored thread that are both rhythmic and mesmerizing.
Her graphite drawings are made up of parallel lines of graphite and often involving colored pencil as well. They are intense and full of energy and almost remind me of heartbeats or sound waves on paper.

Lindberg’s thread drawings (below) are made by using strings of colorful rayon thread that are vertically strung creating beautiful linear works that are studies in color and also show her unbelievable patience that it took to do each one.

Speaking of patience, her room-sized installations feature thousands of thread strands that are thoughtfully attached to the walls, creating a mind-blowing optical feast for your eyes.

The Big Picture
Daily life: April 2012:The
The universality of our lives is never so evident as when we feature a collection of "slice of life" photographs from around the world on The Big Picture. If you don't immediately read the caption under the image, you might imagine the sunlit walk in the park or the child joyfully swinging in a number of places. Common experience is what brings us together as people. So, from St. Petersburg, Russia to Salem, Oregon, tour the world in images of everyday existence.-- Paula Nelson (38 photos total)
