Description
Pusey wrote about her work: "My work consists of geometric forms in a variety of rhythmical configurations. These forms are based on buildings around the Manhattan area. I am inspired by the energy and the beat of the construction and demolition of these buildings, the tempo and movement mold into a synthesis and, for me, become another aesthetic of abstraction. I use color and texture to convey the tension that is the heartbeat of the city. I see the new construction as a rebirth, a catalyst for a new environment, and since the past must be a link to the future, in each of my works? there is a circle to depict the never-ending continuation of natural order and all matter. Tempo and movement hold onto a color and texture to convey the tension that is the heartbeat of the city. As an abstract-geometric artist I have always been inspired by my environment. I see realistic shapes before I transform them into abstract forms."
