Compression: Leila A. Fortier
“For me, compression is how I condense the thoughts of my work into visual abstract design as they appear in my mind. Often the shapes take on the emotive feel of the particular work. I like the pieces to float outside of conformity—compressed because they are not bound to traditional line breaks and formalities—but are the essential forms of which they were meant to be born…undiluted. ” — Leila A. Fortier
