Update from Mimm Patterson

In September three small pieces were accepted into C’ville’s Second Street Gallery and this month I’ve had work accepted into a group show in Chicago’s Woman Made Gallery. This feels validating - as if I’m on the right path - but my focus over these winter months is less about exhibiting my work and more about slowing down the process. I was so hungry to create during the summer that I couldn’t stop playing with wax and now I have a wall full of work - but is it a ‘body of work’? Winter is a ‘yin’ season - a season of contemplation and reflection. And that is my intention. To spend time in considered reflection as I refine my techniques with the goal of creating nuanced work that touches the viewers heart.
