I made the works in this post as a result of time spent at The Drawing Studio and in the encaustic studio at Conrad Wilde Gallery between August 2009 and November 2010. They show how the same subjects, materials, and methods operate in multiple media. The figures in My Pager’s in My Other Pants, which I began working with in 1998, recur in the intaglio prints, encaustic, watercolor, and fiber art. I was introduced to fiber art in August 2009. The sculptural effect of patterns in fabric inform my use of recyclable produce netting, as a relief object, in Shipwrecked Crystals, Monolith, and No On SB1070. In Dancing Bear and View from the Sea w/ Copper Wire, I treat brushstrokes of wax as I would watercolor, where the initial capillary action between water, pigment, and paper makes each move permanent. The mark-making tools and techniques I use to create etchings have led me to “draw by incision,” as in No On Prop 8. InCrime Drama and Love Crimes, incision is depicted literally and stitching is metaphoric.
