loved it.
attended her artist talk to the museum docents & learned a lot about her processes.
i had assumed it was an encausic process>>> it is not. just because wax & oil pigment is used does not make it encaustic. i did not know this. one of the processes she does is to distress wood, then underpainting prior to of the wax stuff. she rubs out between layer & carves into as well. there was a pond of painted & wax coated paint strainer suspended on fishing line from the 2 story ceiling. the overall had a zen/japanese sensibility to it. the filaments caught light and referenced rain while her paintings felt like quiet landscapes.
how this relates to what i am doing:
think it ties into my idea of printing out my digital art & painting over with acrylic. since i do a lot of transparent glazing i could get the depth & complexity of the wax mediums >>> at least some of what i am working on right now seems to be going that way.
may reference her on the paper i am formulating >>>> due sept 28th!
