“A journey through human evolution. Bridges through time linking past and present, telling a story of intelligence, endeavour and discovery.”

 

The “Bridges” Collection by Louise Brook is a bold, striking abstract series, using an exciting mix of acrylic and mixed media. Inspiration for the collection was the theme of evolution and, in particular, the evolution of human intelligence. Collage papers throughout the layers of the original pieces chart the course of human development and achievements over time; from cave painting to scientific formulae, classical literature to technical blueprints and genealogy (drawn from Louise’s late father’s work) to complex bridge design, which lend the series its name.
