Relationships (I always say) are never easy: especially those between color, shape, texture, space . . . and tension. The relationship of the part to the part, the part to the whole and the relationship of the piece to the viewer . . . no matter what materials I use is all important. I use titles to emotionalize these abstract pieces to help communicate a connection between the individual and the universal whole. In the metal pieces I use recycled aluminum printing press plates which I sand, cut and glue onto wood panels, they are about energy and light, patterns and motion, all influenced by the microcosm of life forms, biology, and a hint of satire.

As a native of Israel, Dganit grew up in a Kibbutz. She moved with her husband to the US in 1992. After years of creating art as a self-taught artist, she became a full time student at UNC Chapel Hill. Moving to Philadelphia, she earned her BFA with honors from the University of The Arts, and MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art. Currently, she is working in her studio at the Crane Old School in Philadelphia. In her work she is pulling from her reservoir of life experiences, memories, intuitive processes, and curiosity to construct a “place”, an environment – a landscape. Within it, she aims to present an idea composed of multiple layers, which focuses not only on the physical “being” of land, but also on land as a source of emotional and psychological mood.

Demetra Tassiou's work is inspired by the Greek culture and Art history and minimalistic and acute techniques used in Japanese art. Her artwork are imaginative reconnections with nature, sea, and the colorful environments that I have yearned for after moving to large urban American cities from the Mediterranean landscapes.
