Origin #8 Painting

All my life I have been captivated by the ebb and flow of the ocean upon the shore. There is a repetition of movement, yet a uniqueness found in each wave's mark left on the shifting, glistening sands. I was inspired by the flow of the ocean when I created this work. The light washes of color left their glimmering sediment upon the paper, their marks-a final stillness-yet active with a potential. I have named this series Origin because there is something elemental, something so fundamental in the marks left by my process. I see them as the origin of something organic, ethereal, and full of promise. They offer me a familiarity with something deep within me that I cannot quite name. My paintings are organic abstractions that transform with shifting luminosity. As light filters across their surfaces, a sense of depth is created. It is almost as if they are alive. I hope my viewers can get a sense of this from the photographs I have shared. There is an almost visceral sensation that occurs when one witnesses this in person. I chose to work with color washes in this way because I want to be released from thinking and planning when I create. I give myself over to the process. I do not use a brush, but dance with the paper as the pigment and metallic sediments flow and settle. I limit myself with color choice, the metallic type, and then I let go. When I stop, the marks left are traces of my movement and stillness. I am filled with such a warmth of emotion with each creation. —————————————————— I painted Origin #8 on acid-free, heavy-weight paper and sealed it with an archival protectant.
