The Double Capture series of work began as an exploration in the possibilities of monochrome, specifically black or grey, utilizing only one color of paint. My process involved carving out the light spaces with dark paint and exploring value shifts to create form, while maintaining and utilizing the background white (the visible white areas are the gessoed canvas showing through).
Throughout this series I explore the deterioration of the body and natural forms by manipulating figure/ground relationships as a means to investigate the shifting energy of matter creation and express its ephemeral nature, reflecting nature’s cycles of destruction and regrowth. I aim for my imagery to be simultaneously deconstructing and reconstructing, interacting with one another relationally in a joint becoming.
