Molly Cliff Hilts "Intersection"
Allen Sheppard Gallery
This event has ended.
"Perhaps you look at Molly Cliff-Hilts' paintings and think, how intricate, how delicate. Perhaps you think of a woman living on a hill overlooking Portland, Oregon surrounded by flowers and natural light quietly brushing oil onto a canvas. That's when you have to remind yourself that this work is done with a blow torch, late into the night. The work is done on huge wood panels that have to be wrestled around. All of Molly's tools have to be lit or plugged in. There are more things to burn yourself on than a welding shop. Encaustic technique was not invented by fragile nuns, it was invented by ancient Greek fisherman to seal their boats against the harsh storms of the Mediterranean."
