I’m a saver, some might even say hoarder, so there are often random bits of paper or unfinished canvases roaming about my studio. Sometimes it’s a canvas that just isn’t working and it can be tempting to toss it out or paint over. Several were just lying around last fall when I needed a piece for an upcoming exhibition. Staring at this one, I started to randomly associate words with the visual. Words such as trees, paths and roads ultimately led to the Frost text used here and, like wine aging in a cask, partially worked canvas became art.
Lovely work Sandra….I never thought to equate a recalcitrant canvas with maturing wine, but there you are!
I love this piece and the companion piece you had at the Munce exhibit. Your work is awesome Sandy. Congratulations on your blog!
Thanks Hilary and Jane. Both of your blogs are terrific. I hope to have lots more content here in the near future.
