Uncharted Water
Uncharted Water 1-12, 2023; acrylic on canvas; 30x36 inches each
The series Uncharted Water was a break with process and representational imagery. To achieve the surface, I tore and cut newsprint into shapes. I then painted the shapes and applied the wet paint on paper to the canvas. After burnishing the back of the paper, I quickly removed to reveal a color that seemed a nature part of the surface. There are isolated hard edge shapes created with tape that still populate the paintings.
