Two exhibits in Wellfleet filled May and June last year, and a quick but refreshing trip to Mill Valley in California ended the summer. I was in my studio once again….. and what now? I had gathered a few more resonant twigs and bits of the natural world, and again had the feeling of something needing to come from them being in my hands. Again I went to encaustic to build out what I felt should happen with the twigs and bits.
Something kept happening, and I followed it. I recalled the feeling I’d had, drawing onto raw canvas, using bits of text and hints of twigs. Connections were being made somewhere in my brain, and when I looked at my work table …… I started to “give voice” to them.
