Description
Emergence--Sliver Okay, here I go again, talking about how my paintings 'speak' to me... and since you might think I'm bonkers, I'll go ahead and tell you what I mean: I painted this simple gesture and set it aside for days. I was continually drawn to it, puzzling over what was needed, something added or subtracted, taking a great deal of time to "hear" what the painting was telling me. I began to pull out the ink along the edges with pure alcohol and a brush, creating "washy" areas of transparency. Then I used the airbrush to blow tiny tendrils away from the main area of interest. This now speaks to me in a tender, tremulous, vulnerable voice, rather shyly, of sweetness and mystery... just a glimpse of a directional, an emergence from what was and what could be.... Anyway, thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy it.
