Valerie Moran-Clark
$85.00
Artist statement: Seeking to express internal tension aesthetically, I utilize an eclectic mixed-media format. I use a variety of methods to apply both paint and paper to canvas, board, and paper; printing with found objects and stamping with sponges and textiles, and smearing with my fingers, hands and arms. My process is intuitive and cycles repetitions to create a cohesion of separate components. The persistence of time and the use of multiple techniques on a piece give each unique character and depth.
Specific medium: acrylic
