Artist Spotlight: Marion Wood -- Gravity

Marion Wood, Nightshade, Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 48" 
In Marion Wood’s latest series Gravity, there is an intentional lack of brush strokes; the paint is applied using various instruments, employing gravity as the essential forming agent.

Intentional movement within the confines of gravitational pull is explored by manually moving the canvas, as well as creating layered obstacles and viscous differences that are meant to challenge this unrelenting force.

The physical act of painting, a dirty and explorative undertaking, is the core of the artist’s connection to each piece. Wood chooses to inhabit her paintings and move within them the way one would inhabit a location in the more traditional sense; by wandering, searching, reveling, taking risks, failing, feeling the natural flow and getting messy.
