Carla Weeks at Adaptations

Carla Weeks is a Philadelphia-based artist and designer who uses pattern as a vehicle to describe place. Inspired by the architecture of Taos, New Mexico, Weeks’ new oil paintings use color and pattern to create abstract architectural elements that provide geometric rhythm. Her use of corbels, the unique wooden posts of adobe architecture, are commentary on the appropriation of these symbols from traditional architecture to new, modern constructions in the American Southwest.
