Emily McElmurry: Description of artworks
Paintings
When working with a canvas I find it important to savor the history of the canvas. Each time I work with the surface some parts are preserved, while others are transformed. This becomes obvious when examining the canvas. To me, every square inch of the canvas is important. It is not only about the image overall, but rather each section, part, tidbit, whatever you want to call it, deserves to be looked at, touched, dealt with. I work with the canvas using a process of layering and taking away. You will see images that are over and under each other, while other images are implied. You will find movement and strokes. Overall, you will see textures that make you want to touch the canvas. The history, the story, of the canvas can be found in each and every inch.
