"Arches Upon Arches in Unending Line" Artwork

Anna Carina Sinocchi born: Orange, New Jersey 1970 Anna Carina Sinocchi is a practicing fine artist and lecturer at William Paterson University, Wayne, New Jersey. My work integrates two disparate processes. It starts with the photogram, a unique, alternative photographic approach to image making utilizing the agency of light on a photo sensitive substrates, which in my work are paper and muslin. The photogram process is automatic and uncontrollable; thus, its outcome is unforeseeable and unique. This approach to photographic representation produces a silhouetted shape that sets the foundation for painting. The way the photograph is developed, and the transfiguration of the material surface reveals my next step in painting. By opening myself up to the unexpected, my engagement with painting is more passive than the workings of a traditional painter. I paint by orchestrating the nature of what is revealed before me. Abstract art is an aesthetic activity. The root of my work lie in the influence of the ancient worlds of Mediterranean and Latin culture exploring the metaphysical.
