Levitation I |
My engraved encaustic panels have developed from a long
experimentation with how juxtaposed jabs of color can create deep space.
I see line and color as metaphors for the combination of energy and introspection
that emerges from both of these elements. Grids, webs, and lines connect
points in space. When layered, they take us inside and outside. An image
that looks as though it might confine, creates new space in the atmosphere
that happens in the "spaces between;” it aims for an infusion
of light and atmosphere.
Layered grids invoke a spatial dimension where fluid connections between
points go back and forth in time. The imposition of the grid melds the
layers as well as their infinite intersections of points to each other--in
and out of the painting as well as around its surface and perimeters.
All connects to take on a seamless quality.
