During trips to Morocco, I became interested in Mendhi, also spelled Mehndi, which is the art of drawing thin lines of henna paste to decorate hands and feet, traditionally done on brides before their wedding ceremonies (see photo on TEXTILES, SCARVES page.) Substituting acrylic paints for henna paste, I developed the skill of painting in this manner, and gradually realized it could be incorporated with my marbling to produce a strong visual presence. As someone who appreciates sacred art of the world’s diverse religions, I wanted to use fine line painting in ways that would evoke the same emotions produced when viewing sacred painting, particularly Buddhist, Islamic, and Byzantine art. Tibetan mandalas influence the format from which my marbled paintings evolve. |
