About the Item

In this large abstract encaustic (pigmented beeswax) monotype on Japanese kikura paper, bands of rich and vibrant colors in bright orange, periwinkle blue, deep cobalt and mossy green, and earth-toned browns and yellows are vibrant and saturated on the surface of the paper. The striations of color allude to layers of sediment and bedrock that rest beneath the Earth's surface. This work on paper may be installed vertically or horizontally. Available unframed, please inquire with the gallery for framing costs. Signed on recto. Laura Moriarty is engaged in a visual dialogue that finds equilibrium between scientific representation and acts of abstraction. Her studio practice includes making sculptures, paintings, prints and multimedia installations. By studying the elaborate diagrams found in earth science textbooks and from empirical evidence of geological events, Moriarty creates macro/micro records in encaustic paint of what she imagines is happening below the earth’s terrain. The properties of her work: shape, color, density, and composition result from the same forces that shape and reshape the earth -- heating and cooling, time, movement, transmutation, enfolding. The artist’s work is shown internationally and she is the recipient of many grants and fellowships including the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant and Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, Zita Orionis Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT and the Baer Art Center, Hofsos, Iceland.
