There is a dream that sticks with me, begging attention. Time is making it thin.
Figuring prominently: neverending clonal doorways, halls, stairs—all white.
Encaustic monotypes require an extraordinary openness to chance, to the inclinations of melting & flowing materiality. These were created using my hair, encaustic, and pigment on Rives BFK paper, followed by stitching. While anticipating something entirely different from what I’ve made prior, the forms and lines that took shape and became melded—embedded—in the paper were strikingly similar to the work I have created before with specific intention.
Figuring prominently: cellular-like, organic, moments of great change suspended in time.
The resulting individual prints are a combination of memory, practice, personal experience and the echoes of dreams. Like sound creating imagery, not necessarily diagnostic.
Figuring prominently: the subconscious and its determination to seek form instead of thought.
