"'Spectrum' is about the hope of finding common ground from polarities ... it's a work of contrasts and opposites. It's also me making jest of my usual, uptight drawing method ... it's me metaphorically throwing paint at myself. The ink blot thing is ongoing and fairly new. I'm currently working on canvas iterations and introducing other chance methods of paint application with prescribed color palettes. I see this investigation of opposing drawing styles continuing for some time.
The original "Spectrum" drawing is on bristol board that's been folded in half. The underlying drawing is black ballpoint, drawn with the help of my drawing gears which I design and make. Acrylic ink is used for the color overlaying that drawing. Symmetry achieved through folding the page... thanks Dr. Rorschach! A dose of spontaneity. An abandonment of control. Chance and randomosity embraced. The bulk of my work is planned, practiced and patient." - Mary Wagner
