Artist Statement Drawings The body of drawings for this show involve the use of water-based media. In these drawings, I used circular and square forms which I repeat, stack, accumulate, organize and layer into grid-like and organic patterns. All forms refer to something in the material or non-material world, with the circular forms alluding alternately to simple orbs or globes of color or to cellular or planetary bodies. In my process, I am interested in the interaction of color washes and veils as they pool, collect, bleed, wrinkle or crease on the paper surface. Paying attention to both deliberate and spontaneous marks, my method/technique is a meditation on the flux and flow of everyday life. The movement and interaction of the washes also call attention to the tension between order and disorder, the closed/inert and the permeable, the static and the fluid, the mechanical and the organic. |
