Bemerkung: Die Komposition von Sarah Gibson wurde durch die Soak-Stain-Maltechnik der KĂŒnstlerin Helen Frankenthaler inspiriert: Sarah Gibson: An innovative technique created by American abstract expressionist painter Helen Frankenthaler, âsoak stainâ involves diluting acrylic paint until it is fluid enough to pour onto a raw canvas from a coffee can. In Frankenthalerâs paintings, this technique allows one to see colors competing and blending with its contiguous rival. I love this approach and the way it provides both structured blocks of color in Frankenthalerâs works and leaves amoeba-like and uneven edges as various colors meet. In my piece, I try to play with this idea by evoking clear formal structures defined by liquid melodies and melting textures: https://www.sarahgibson-music.com/works/soak-stain.
Bemerkung: âInspired by the trailblazing work of artist Miriam Schapiro, warp & weft is a celebration of the creative process and specifically the Schapiro-coined term âfemmageâ Femmage, or feminist collage, defines any activity practiced by women using traditional womenâs techniques to achieve their art â collage, decoupage, and weaving, just to name a few. Schapiro used the term to elevate the significance of womenâs crafting in the home which was historically denigrated as âdecorativeâ art compared to predominantly male artists whose pieces were classified as âhigh' artâ. https://www.sarahgibson-music.com/works/warp-weft.
