This new launch of work from Alyssa Breid has two distinct influences: A “no waste” concept, combined with the frenetic energy that emanates through the end of each year. Using canvas sizes left over from previous works, Bried prioritized using what she had already — a practice she is also employing elsewhere in her practice and life. For Breid, this practice allows for new ideas to flow freely and puts a punctuation of sorts on the close of the year. To mitigate the frenetic energy that accompanies the end of the year, Bried uses a palette that encourages a sense of inner calm, leaving the viewer with a sense of stillness that is timeless and all-encompassing. The series is an invitation to meditate on the quiet beauty that surrounds us. It’s a gentle reminder that even in the busiest of seasons, we can find tranquility if we are willing to listen to its whispers.

“I feel that I am a part of a tradition that generations before me have done, working with thread, working with their hands. It is my goal to carry on this tradition, but in a new way.”
