About Wendi Turchan

My current work is an exploration of time and place utilizing small, temporary forms within the landscape. I wander and observe shapes, movement and changing qualities of light. Removing these small moments from their original context, I explore the potential of drawn, painted and cut marks as an attempt to make sense of time, the inevitability of change, and new possibilities. As I work, the boundary between reality and memory become intertwined. Colors, forms, and edges act as a hinge between real and imagined conditions. Shapes are repeated and layered depicting levels of concealment and revealing unexpected forms. Through various methods of transparency and overlap, I reflect on a ghostly, illusive, and nonrepresentational space of distance and longing.
