The exhibition presents a body of work with two perspectives: the sun or moon rising or setting over water, and the East Bay and High Head Dunes in different seasons and times of day, real and imaginary.
This series of monoprints involves a two-part process; the first step is direct print making from a plate or a silk screen, and the second is hand painting on the print with watercolor pastel, ink, and/or gouache. The resulting images, intended and unpredictable, offer both a foundation and an overlay of color and expression.
My regular forays from my home in Truro into Provincetown captivate the spirit and eye. The scene shifts by the hour, the day, the season, the orientation, and the weather, sometimes subtly and often dramatically. New combinations of light, shape, and color transform the water, parabolic dunes, and sky.
Similarly, there is intrigue and magic within the ephemeral and dynamic nature of sunlight and moonlight on water. As we live within this landscape, light from these round celestial bodies travels, creating dynamic features of our days, nights, and horizons.
