Here's an artwork in LAMINATOR Vol. 1 zine (which has arrived in your mailbox by now if you're local!): A painting called Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone by artist Constance Volk (Oak Park, Illinois). Her statement:
"I create textured paintings intended for touch. My paintings begin with a clay foundation, forming channels that allow liquid prismatic oil to flow and marble as it cures, resulting in creations that have the appearance of stone and metal. I call this technique 'channelling'. The channels of these paintings, featuring Yellowstone National Park, form solvable mazes, intended to be travelled by fingertip."
Constance will also have a solo exhibition at Oak Park Public Library where you can see this piece (and others) in person. The show opens today, with a reception tomorrow, and will be on view through April 14. Congratulations, Constance!
