Natural Forces
September 5 - September 30, 2006
Opening Reception Sunday, September 10, 2006, 1 - 3 p.m.
Storm, mixed media
Artist's Statement “In a process that mimics the natural forces of weathering and erosion, Peggy McClure covers her images with layers that conceal, destroy, and become something new. She paints over photographs or handwritten text. Pieces of images and text work their way in; paint is scraped away in places to reveal the underlying image. And, as with the covering and uncovering by natural forces, bits and pieces float to the top.”
