CATHY PAIGE

In response to the beauty in the natural world the intention is to express wonder. The process reflects this as work begins with very little forethought and proceeds with intuition and experimentation. Transitions of color and texture are of particular interest. The medium includes acrylic and glaze on paper or wood or canvas. Multiple colors of paint and glaze are skimmed across the piece creating an irregular surface. Eventually the paint catches only the upper dimensions and leaves the original layers of color and glaze in the crevices. Pieces are often disassembled and reorganized. The grid is of particular interest. It offers order, which allows expression of formal elements addressed with abandon.
