Cheryl Finfrock (Austin) and Liz Mamorsky (San Francisco) live miles apart but share a love of the bizarre creatures lurking on the margins of the mind. Hypnogogic images floating behind the eyes on the borders of sleep. They invite you to share their painted visions at the Artists Reception, Saturday, August 14, 6 – 9PM.
About the Artists:
Dreams inspire my work. Images ranging from public domain icons to archaic glyphs grab my attention. My work is narrative in its intent, with titles helping to progress the story. I see my work as a painterly memoir, and the color and humor are grounding for me in this process.
Artist Statement - Liz Mamorsky
Adventures in Vunderland marks my return to painting after a three year stint building my sculptural Artbots. I am enjoying, once again, the sensuality of stroking buttery oils onto canvas and drifting off into the noun-less Neverland where time expands, drawing me into the whorl of creation. Painting is like writing a novel. It starts with the terror of the blank canvas but abates as I make arbitrary marks with brush and fingers. From this messy grid a thread evolves and I surrender to where it is taking me. Characters emerge and are developed, sometimes deleted or allowed to morph into other creatures. It is an exciting process that scares, thrills and delights in turn. I am swimming in the creative soup,
and loving it!
