ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Fresco is an ancient painting technique. The world fresco comes from the Italian meaning 'fresh'. The technique consists of painting with dry pigment mixed with water applied to a wet surface of lime mortar or plaster. The painting (or section thereof) has to be finished before the surface dries, which occurs in a matter of hours. This also makes fresco 'fresh' in that there is only one chance to execute the painting properly - there is no way to do it over except by doing another. I believe that fresco is the best way to capture motion, especially the motion of a moving human body. Fresco also seems very musical to me. It seems therefore a natural choice of medium when it came time for me to do these works about ballet. I have performed in a student ballet performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. From my memories of that experience I made this work.Painting this fresco was much like that live performance: there was no chance of a do-over. The work itself is to be 'read' from right to left and from left to right(it meets in the center):the idea is to give the feeling of movement on a stage. Dance is another way of understanding our life. Everyday we live on 'Life's stage'. Every moment of our life is spent as if performing in front of an audience.
