VIEW IN MY ROOM
The image size on the paper is 7 inches by 7 inches. The word “velvet” in the title because the paler marks of this gray-black piece have a soft, tactile quality. When I start making marks on a piece of paper, the results can be unpredictable; this is a characteristic of the creative process of this series. The work is given the structure of the grid, and I’ve made a decision about how the marks will be made, usually from the top of the squares to the bottom, but the quality of painted marks contains an element of chance. It’s only after the ink has dried, that I evaluate the repetitive marks and the visual effects of the ink.

Andrea Cross is a Brooklyn, NY-based artist who specializes in works on paper. Statement: My mark making works are process oriented, intended to show a repetitive and meditative art making process that will encourage a similar contemplative reaction on the part of the viewer. Materials are simple: heavy paper, ink, watercolor, or a combination of both media. I am not interested in creating careful, identical marks. Instead, as part of the process I recognize that spontaneity gives the squares a visual energy. I view it as “chaotic minimalism,” a natural result of my work methods. As there is a repetition of the marks being painted, so is there a repetition to some of the grids and structures of the pieces. Superficially, the paintings might appear similar, but no two are alike, owing to the variations in color and application of the marks.
