| Hand made paper is a medium with contradictions. It can be substantial and delicate, temporary or enduring, support the medium, or be the medium.
My exploration of this medium is to create contrast.
Contrast in the pure white with shadows formed from textures. Contrast with the large smooth soft spaces, and areas of texture.
By playing with this paradox in handmade paper I then construct the visual tension.
My dress paintings are also a contradiction. They are simple, yet sections suggest complicity. The paint is smooth and then roughly torn at. A underlining femininity that is aggressively emerging. My colorful paintings are another element. These are just fun, just references of my life....gardening, travel, friendships. website: www.roxannerossi.com blog: http://roxannerossi.blogspot.com email:roxanne@roxannerossi.com |
