Concrete Ball (2012)

Concrete Ball comes from a body of work focused on material relationship to image within painting, where the material itself is part of the subject of the painting. The title describes both the physicality of the painting and also what is pictured. In her words “I was interested in capturing a sensation of conflict: between lightness and heaviness, stillness and movement.” The concrete like effect is made with an artist’ acrylic medium called Pumice Gel. The washes are a combination of acrylic and poster pastel. As well as a contrast through texture the painting tracks physical movement giving the sensation and visual description of the ball moving across the picture plane.
