Delighted to receive an Honourable Mention at the recent Fall Show of the Hudson Artists. It was awarded by the two judges for "strong composition".
My artist statement reads,
"[The series] Time and Again is inspired by
“deconstructed” buildings. The structure remains, but new layers
and textures are revealed as time and usage wear down surfaces."
These are mixed media pieces: acrylic paint, watercolour crayon and charcoal, with bits of cloth, print and wallpaper collaged in; paper mounted on cradleboard.

Word of the day: palimpsest. From the Oxford Living Dictionary:
- A manuscript or piece of writing material on which later writing has been superimposed on effaced earlier writing.
- Something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.
- example: "Sutton Place is a palimpsest of the taste of successive owners."
- Origin: mid-17th century, via Latin from Greek palimpsēstos, from palin 'again' + psēstos 'rubbed smooth'.
- also: palimpsestic (adjective)

I love that you are still working with buildings, but in an entirely new way. You have captured the beauty of old buildings as they age!
And thanks for that great word!
Thanks for your supportive words, Vickie. I am excited about this new direction for my work, and hope its connection to my previous series is evident.
