Stephanie McMahon I choose a subtle form - slightly off the rectangle - to
generate a physical sensation. This is the jumping-off point for the
composition. The shaped panels visually change as the composition does,
being pushed by the paint, constricting the marks or moving with them.
Through formal experimentation I establish spatial relationships. I
constantly edit and add during the process of painting, although the
surface may not always reveal this history. The spontaneity of my mark-making
gives freshness and immediacy to the work. I intend each mark, when
paired with its color and value, to evoke a particular action. The gestural
process infuses the forms with density or airiness and intensifies the
color interactions. My work relays a sense of air, light, time and gravity.
These paintings are images of actions. Once the work achieves a specific
dynamic, I leave you with that moment in time. |
