Nancy Storrow "Findings"
A.I.R. Gallery
This event has ended.
Findings is a series of abstract drawings, exploring both observed and imagined occurrences in nature over a yearlong period. Reflective of seasonal changes and weather, the evocative drawings are static images of transient events.
Storrow uses pastels, pastel pencils, graphite and erasers to mark, wipe, cover, smudge and layer the drawings. She works with her fingers - each part of the smooth surface is handled. Her palette ranges from smoky greens to pure brilliant magenta, but is restrained by a delicacy of touch. Storrow's visual language includes small shifts in line, residual images, dissonant surprises of color and translucent overlays of repeated forms. Like processes in nature, the drawings are made, changed, erased, and remade.
Findings continues Storrow's visual conversation about nature - interpreting both the world she experiences and the world she sees. Her drawings are a response to and a recording of small events; gesture is combined with imagery in an effort to portray or reconstruct particular moments. Storrow's expressive drawings exhibit an intuitive response and an immediacy of touch.
