Materials: Wax, acrylic paint.
Process: "Watermark" refers to the faint impression left upon the paper during manufacture, visible when help up to the light, this mark usually identifies the maker. In this painting the watermarksare left by two processes. The first is a "wax resist" whereby I create a wax rubbing and apply paint over the waxed area. The paint adheres to the paper but not the wax areas. The second process is by weighting the wet painted paper with jars of water. The jar leaves a ring when the paint has dried and the jar is lifted off.
Narrative: "Watermark" was the name of the highrise building I resided in at Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA. This district is a globalcenter for many types of biotechnology, genetic, pharmaceutical, and other technology companies. This painting refers to scientific research as an arial view of test tubes or medical samples. Watermarks leave something behind -- what are we leavingbehind for our future generations?
Both "Watermark" and "Flight" refer to Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA.
