76 Artists Magazine October 2019

pieces are infused with aspects of technology

and engineering at play with the freedom of

fantasy. In her piece Inner Workings (above),

the main subject is a large tree, its branches

curling wildly inward while birds fly outward

and a girl swings toward an open field. Within

the trunk and among the roots, the painting

reveals gears at work—the cogs of a machine.

In describing this piece, Law writes of “the

strange and beautiful tie of the rules of math-

ematics and physics to the organic wonder

and growth of life and nature.” It seems that

melding the worlds of fact and fantasy comes

naturally to Law.
