Nancy Catandella
The works in this exhibit are of two subjects; my response to the pandemic and water; a threatened resource and symbol of life. The photo-encaustic works of water present a dark stillness suggesting visible and invisible water dwellers that reside there. This dark stillness also refers to the symbolism of the eternal mystery of the human unconscious. Set above the water’s surface is where we exist, breathing the air that can be scary to inhale, and possibly life threatening as well, without a mask. The drawings and paintings represent us.
When I work I may start with an idea of what I’m going to do but in the end the work takes on a life of it’s own. Similar to the writer writing their story - the story will start to write itself. These are narrative visual poems that also testify to the resilience of human nature and our environment.
The artwork is representational, with abstract elements integrated into it to support the narrative. I used mixed media which included my altered photographs, acrylic, ink, charcoal, and encaustic (wax based paint mixed with pigment, resin and beeswax).
My influences are from the Modernists Magritte, Kandinsky, Klee and Matisse. And the American Abstract Expressionists Joan Mitchell and Richard Diebenkorn, plus the Contemporary painter, Gerhard Richter.

“My paintings begin with photographs taken on road trips or with images captured from google walks or other images found on the internet or other sources. When an image grabs me, I play with it until it becomes something more pungent and iconic.”
