MessageCollection: Lineage
Lineage is a body of work based on two stained glass windows made by my late grandmother, Barbara Rosen. For these paintings, I am examining her unique use of color and shape through a lens of further abstraction. These works are painted in oil using a wet on dry technique to build nuance and depth into the intense palette inspired by glass.
I also created an accompanying series of works painted using the soak stain technique that I often use in my painting process. For these works, acrylic paint is the primary medium on raw (unprimed, unstretched) canvas, but I have integrated oil paint into them as well. This integration creates a unique pattern based on the repulsion and absorption of the two painting media. The palette for these soak stain works is based on my grandmother as well and her particular love of turquoise.
