Artist Statement for Sarah Intemann
|
|
|
My work is primarily about the investigation of the evocative nature of line. Discovering its abilities and limitations to describe shapes, form, and tone, poses a challenge that I find highly stimulating. I am interested in consistently pitting graceful smooth ribbons of line against strong rough gesture marks, and defining course bulky forms with sinewy elegant lines. My constant objective is to illustrate the delicate play between chaos and order, while consciously maintaining a visual harmony and balance.
I draw my visual vocabulary from nature. Specifically, referencing images of geoformations, caves, glacial landforms, urban landscapes, and delineations on facets of bone surfaces, for their more structural elements. For a more delicate vernacular, I draw from botanical and aquatic life, subcutaneous anatomy, and silky patterns in nature, such as water and smoke. Though I often use a paint medium, the conscious choice to keep my work in the realm of drawing is important.
Drawing reveals its own process, leaving a lasting mark seen through transparent layers of ink and paint. This permanence in the drawing and evidence of the building of layers is an integral part of each painting. In creating these invented malleable landscapes, I am continuously stretching the limit of the drawing technique and challenging the borderline between drawing and painting.
