Impressions

Surface Marks and Soul Marks

I have an intimate relationship with the word “impression” in my work. One that comes into play on many levels, as I think about it.

On the very basic level, I use the “press in” technique to create a wide variety of textures and designs on most of what I create, utilizing natural materials, found things, doilies, and such to decorate surfaces. I love to cover surfaces with impressions!

On a deeper, more personal level, I find that life’s impressions, marks made on my soul through time, inform the mood and nature of much of my work. I work without drawings or plans, allowing a natural expressionistic process to unfold. Much of what comes through is influenced by years of adventures in nature, travel, my education in anthropology, and love of all that is close to the earth and that which reflects her mystery and bounty.

On the level that involves the viewer, my hope is that my work has an affect that invokes a personal feeling of wonder, reflection, or exploration of the initial impression felt while being with a piece. Different people will have different experiences and feelings triggered by the same piece, based on life experience and accumulated impressions. That is a fascinating and very personal thing! I invite you to not let the title of a piece direct you so much. The key word is feeling…go with your first impression! ~ Denise Incao

4th Friday Art Walk Reception July 22  5:00 – 7:00 PM

 

 

“My art comes from within me. I see it in my dreams. I see it whenever I look at the most ordinary, mundane items. To create art out of items most people think of as junk is my passion. I enjoy working with bits of tires from the side of the road, broken glass, rusty metal and wire of different varieties and sizes which I add to pieces or let them stand on their own. Many of my works have wrapped wire and/or painted dots which to me are a form of prayer and meditation for the love and healing of our Earth. ” ~ Sheri Oriona
