Marilyn Fox: Tell Me A Story
GoggleWorks 201 Washington Street, Reading, PA, United States The isolation of the pandemic, and my retirement, has opened new perceptions in my painting. Language as created by line, color, and form is my focus. However, influences of the natural world are subject, such as changing weather, as seen in my work WEATHER PATTERNS or MIGRATION.
Sometimes color and marks are the subject as in ICE SKATING where the entire surface is incised with scratches that resemble the tracks of skates, the sometimes-smooth curves or awkward lines, the skaters create. Here, there is a presence of recent human activity.
Color produces an emotional response as well, as seen in A QUIET PLACE, with its cool gemlike hues of blue and violets, while RHAPSODY is charged with passion in its rich purple, gold and greens.
Together, hues, lines, and various marks will tell the story.
