First love: Claybords

Claybords for MOTHER | Bunnell Street Arts Center | December 2022

I am drawn to the delicate, egg shell surface of claybords. I rely on color theory in my work and claybords achieve the saturated and vibrant hues I strive for. I work wet on these small, square panels, building delicate washes of paint, creating sensitive and intuited layers that give way to depth and dimension. Once these layers are complete, I begin the slow work of intentional mark-making, teasing out details and creating tactile patterns of hand-painted dots.
