Best known for her encaustic paintings incorporating natural imagery, Skinner's \u003ci\u003eGya Gye\u003c\/i\u003e (Tibetan for 108) and related series represent dramatic experimentation in form, process and viewer engagement. Informed by extensive travels in Bhutan, India, Japan and elsewhere--along with her corresponding research into languages and philosophical systems--she expanded her mediums to include rope, fabric, glass, stones and found objects which she modified in unpredictable ways. Although some of the series, such as the \u003ci\u003eElements\u003c\/i\u003e paintings, retain recognizable imagery, her recent series bring 108 into the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom QR code patterns to the simple, interminable zeroes and ones of binary language, Skinner discerns pictorial aptitude in contemporary digital codes. Other series explore ancient tally marks--both Eastern and Western--and the abstracting impact of systematically repeating simplified mountains or tight details of eyes, among other universal motifs.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 12.6 x 1.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48338877022457,"sku":"9781942185109","price":70.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/KrYOKyxEAq9781942185109.webp?v=1777607750","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/catherine-eaton-skinner-108-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
