About The Artwork

In an intimate process of layering, I am collecting shadows. Shadows from from the bedroom floor, brought in by the streetlight late at night, shadows from beneath the elder trees on an autumn afternoon, shadows from the past, shadows of now, this is the shadow of a fern, one of the oldest lifeforms still on our earth. As the sun come streaming in the window and through the bright pile of leaves on the fern, it catches in the prism of water, held in the act of maintaining life. Shadows are not singular lines, they are piles of lines created by environment, by breath, and time. These shadows were captured with acrylic, chalk, charcoal, gouache, and pencil on raw canvas. Installed with lovely little nails, this piece hangs gently just off the wall allowing light and air to move around it.
