About the Edge Corridor artists and what Turning Point means to them:
Andrea Lawson www.andreaklawson.com : Inspired by
music, dance and nature, my paintings are produced
through a voluptuous layering of paint and vital
gesture. My work is intensely process-oriented,
born of my ongoing engagement with the emotion,
mystery and magic of applying paint to canvas.I love oil on
canvas because it is sensuous
and provides deep color. I also work with drawing materials and intaglio printmaking and pastels. My Rite of
Spring
series is inspired by the
ballet Rite of
Spring
which involves themes of
life, death, rebirth
and spring. Rite of
Spring:
Firelight Dance also conveys a
feeling of primitive
people or dancers
around a fire which
was a turning point
in our human history
and feels to me like a
point of
gathering
together. The
painting itself
is somewhat
of a new
approach as I
use the
elements of gesture
in a very
direct method similar to
drawing. I felt that
the theme really fit with my current painting
series and I really enjoyed selecting pieces
to submit to the show.
The Artist Trust Edge program was
inspiring and a great way to
connect with other artists. Artist
Trust is a wonderful
resource.
Joyce Prigot:
Joyce Prigot grew up and lived in the NYC area until she moved to the Pacific Northwest a decade ago. It was a difficult transition for her, trying to create a feeling of home in such a different atmosphere. She figured that if she could understand her environment around her, specifically what the cloud patterns communicated about imminent weather, she'd feel more comfortable. This is a painting from her medium sized oil paintings called her cloud series, which she painted to get a better understanding of the world around her.
More about the artist can be found on her web site,
