My piece 7 x 7 was accepted into the Seventh International Encaustic Conference Juried Show : Seven . The show is at the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill , Truro , MA from May 21 — June 7 , 2013 . The juror for the show is Shawn Hill , critic , Art New England .
When I envisioned the Seven show , immediately the colors of the rainbow came to mind . I divided the panel into 49 squares , planning to use the 7 squares of each of the 7 rainbow colors . 7x 7 , 49 squares — 7 colors , RAINBOW — 7 letters .
The final rainbow collage embodies the symbol 7 in monochromatic as well as polychromatic images further enhanced by a triangular presentation . There are 7 types of triangles and my work represents 2 isosceles triangles sharing their unequal side .
This was a departure from my usual style of sculptural painting . I feel it presents a simple , yet powerful image . It has taken me in a new direction .
The journey continues - - -
