A Reflection on Transformation
The paintings in
the ‘Scorched’ series were created using a variery of
materials and paints that were set on fire directly on the canvas. The
rich textures were acheived through a gradual process of layering and
burning. In some cases the paintings were created over a six month
period in which the original painting was completely transformed into
something new.
Artist's Statement
“Transformation, change and
destruction are fundamental processes in our lives and world. Yet, all
too often, we cringe at change, and our lives and societies cling to
old ways. This series of paintings celebrates the beauty of
transformation-- having harnessed fire’s destruction in their
creation. The scorched and highly textured artwork speaks of the
balance and richness that is the result of embracing this fundamental
natural process.”
