Andrea Higgins is a recent graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute. Her paintings are magnifications of fabric swatches. The repetition of the marks, like the weaving of threads, creates a pattern that is both minimal and dynamic. Higgins feels that in every culture fabric
expresses the look of the environment. This painting is from a series that Higgins felt would be familiar and classic to those familiar with the American cultural landscape. This painting is also a “portrait” of Aaron Copland.
