1983

About the Item

"Blue Robe, Purple Tears II" is an original porcelain and ink piece by Marjorie Mau. The artist signed the sculpture. 18" x 13" x 3" art Artist's Statement: "My works are about the act of painting and drawing, how the material moves and layers, is added to and subtracted from. While this process may seem enough, it is through the working of surfaces and transformation of symbols the images find their clarity. In the removal of paint, in unpainting, it is unexpected for there to be more; but I have come to know presence in this absence. Underlays of paint have all the windswept and scraped landscape features of the windrowed fields of the Midwest. Ever present horizontals countered with verticals are made real through linear overlays. Long interested in land as place and as a reservoir of form, aerial flights over midsections of the country provide microcosms of line, shape and space from what was expansive. Working alternately between painting and drawing leads to series of works, mindful that my next work is almost always generated from the last. It is here that my desire to paint as I draw reverses itself; and I unsuspectingly draw as I paint, moving the materials of drawing as I do paint, the same commitment to line, surface and edge holding true. That I have adopted vessel forms of enclosure and containment from the map of aerials and have extracted fluted ceramic vessels into painted surfaces, speaks to the connection I have with these glazed vestiges. A rhythm moves through my studio as I work, repetition of line and form taking on the same pattern of breathing. What is reduced in the practice of making leaves room for that eloquent mystery of stillness. What remains is revealed in a porous yet orderly balance."
