Say What You Have To say by Miriam Traher Image: The process involves layering paint, collage, paint and more paint, layers and layers with colours, shapes and designs that are scraped, sanded, scratched and dug into, repainted, revealing and leaving bits of the past, the history of each layer. A story emerges that blends this history with the final design, which is rich in texture. The beauty is in the discovery, the rich surface and the hidden bits that can only be seen by getting in close and exploring its secret

Her work is entirely spontaneous, guided by a process of experimentation, discovering, answering and responding to the previous mark. Her works have a sense of play and wonder with a; don’t I, should I, well, why not let’s see, approach to creating unplanned surprises of colour combinations and marks. She often works in limited palettes, with a hidden surprise and loves experimenting with physical and visual textures. She surrenders to the piece, not worrying about what or how it will happen, leaving the process open to the joy of creativity. She hopes her pieces evoke this excitement and discovery for you, the viewer, to enjoy with an added dash of bold with her play to balance shapes and lines.
