Disk installations (7)

Created on: 02 Nov 2016
In this new series of work, I use contrasting materials and substrates to create works that oscillate between painting and sculpture. I use solid substrates made of wood and circular acrylic panels using encaustic (beeswax) and acrylic paint as well as metallic paints that transform or react when combined. Combinations are discovered, explored, proposed, rejected and accepted as part of the art-making process. Components are moved around in varying compositions. Some paintings are created to be part of a series and some are partnered through discovery. Through this approach I discover relationships between the elements creating rhythms, patterns and visual textures that are nature-based as well as abstract. Over time, contrasting or common elements form connections, which is what I am really hoping to explore through this interaction.
