Michele LeMaitre, (American, b. 1963), a multi-disciplinary artist, is known for her groundbreaking process/style of 2D Interactive Sculptural Mixed Media, which represent chunks of water that have seemingly been scooped out of the Ocean, pools or lakes and splashed onto the walls, in a controlled but fluid form. The surface colors change with the movement of the viewer's body. Michele invites the viewer to “swim” around the artwork, as if being immersed in water, to observe their visceral and emotional thoughts or memories of water experiences and then take those sensory observations into their future surroundings, while being in, on, around, under and by the water.
