NANCY STAUB LAUGHLIN
I work exclusively in pastels on paper. I start with my “simulated still lifes” which are carefully chosen visual effects put into improbable situations. Welcome to my world. My process is as important as the finished pastel drawing, even though the viewer is unaware of the hidden steps. My “simulated still lifes” allow me to enter an unreal world of my own creation .Once this unreal still is photographed and documented, it becomes a tangible reality. I create these stills by first gathering my carefully chosen “props”. My extensive collection of mirrors of every kind, glass objects in every shape, sheer fabrics, baubles and sparkles allow me to choose the appropriate balance of translucency, layering and glitter. Bodies of water, be it bowls, tanks or even a glimmer of reflection of shimmery water, are also incorporated to add to the controlled multi-layering of objects. Photographs of the landscape are an added element as a natural counter balance to the glitter, sequins and sparkle. I set up in strong light which creates the intense shadows, vibrant color, reflections and shimmering auras of light. The set up is then photographed to capture the moment. I work from the photograph to create the finished pastel on paper. I draw the things I love the most: the fun comes from combining all the elements, enveloping the viewer and unveiling my glowing world.
