Deeann Rieves is a young contemporary artist who layers paint, canvas, machine embroidery and lace to create delicate, fragile wall pieces. The works seen below are part of her 'spills and coverings' series. Rieves depicts coverings which have become worn, creating gaps and revealing the truth behind. The 'spills' which break out of the confines of the canvas frame represent the fragility of coverings and illusion as they have lost their support and become broken and shapeless.
