Description
THE SURVIVIOR
is a contemporary drawing and commentary on women's rights that brings back so many memories of my Mother and her advocacy for wellness for women after she suffered with breast cancer.
Although it came together in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina, it started –first, from ay sketch, to watercolor then, digitized as an "art-tech-block-and-carve” technique I’ve come to find interesting.
( I’m attracted to that technique because it can bring together bits from my original art to create a collage, digitally-rendered. Also, the elements, both abstract and organic, become “fusion art” with the objective of story telling.)
In this case, the narrative is about courage despite adversity-- a metaphor for life in general and symbolizes engagement-- filled with joie de vivre.
GENERAL FUSION ART PROCESS:: Sketch for composition to canvas and/or paper, sometimes, oil pastels, sometimes acrylic paint. The result then captured as a photo and brought to create a JPEG. Finally, digital layering of the original materials.
Objective:: Narrative art with emotive content- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. (Some are inner landscapes.) Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer.
Symbolism :: THE SURVIVOR symbolizes a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape. This piece may have a particular appeal as the visual narrative reveals that even disparate parts can work together. My thought is that visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, can build on a promising tale of life on Earth.

MORE ABOUT THE FUSION ART PROCESS ::
All of my fusion art and contemporary abstract images –whether impressionist or expressionist- feature many, many, many layers blended for "pasted effects" to reveal - through pattern, texture, and light- a visual narrative about life on our blue planet that welcome your interpretation.
