In this series of work, Interdependence, I experimented for the first time with an etching process called aquatint. The shapes are overlaid upon each other, to form a language of plurality and interconnectedness. I created these works during highly busy months, and each week, I would enter the refuge of my studio to take small steps towards completion.
This body of work is about experimenting with my own decisions in my mark making. At the most fundamental level, I am a mark maker. I make a marks on surfaces, marks that are informed by own mastery of tools and my own choices. Every decision is informed my lived experiences, by my references of the world around me, and my freedom to have a visual language that is uniquely mine. My marks reflect my choices in color, form, texture, shape, and line.
This title of this series, Interdependence, is about our deep connection to nature.
