Susan FronapfelIt's surprising to me how much of my story - growing up on a farm in Ohio, becoming a mathematician, a wife and mother, working in information technology - is injected into even the most representational paintings.Painting bolts me into history, creating kinship back to the artist who thirty-thousand years ago blew ochre dust from a hollow reed to outline her or his hand on the wall of the Pech Merle grotto. Yet painting reveals a unique moment observable only if you look from a specific place and time. I think a painting is like a syzygy, that alignment of three celestial bodies on two intersecting planes which creates a transit, occultation or eclipse, a fleeting and memorable image if you are ready and lucky enough to see it. I hope that my paintings connect viewers to their own stories. |
