Gallery Framing | Brunswick, Maine | July 2010
An Edge: a place to fall off from or a place to hold onto, a favorable margin and/or a penetrating power.
Every year I learn something new in art—a sudden insight that affects how I look at a drawing or painting. This year it has been a clearer understanding of edges. Are they soft or hard, disappearing and reappearing? Are they even there—or necessary?
Interpreting the word “edge” compositionally has been equally engaging. Are there moral edges to consider within a painting? Are edges torn, broken, patched, or holding firm in the painting or drawing? Thus for me, the discovery of tearing up the watercolor painting and making a collage evolved.
For this collection of work, I’ve enjoyed playing and experimenting with edges.
