Bare Ground
Nancy Storrow

GALLERY I

March 30 - April 23, 2011

Opening Reception: Thursday, March 31, 2011 6-8 pm

Bare Ground refers to both a beginning and an ending. Starting with the bare ground as an open place of discovery, Storrow works intuitively, arranging and connecting simple lines of different weights in a series of abstract drawing that evoke elements of nature. The drawings are direct, gestural, and dense; the color is balanced and particular. Storrow uses pastels and erasers to mark, wipe, cover, smudge and layer her drawings. Her visual language includes small shifts in line, residual images, an occasional dissonance of color, and intensely worked areas contrasted with translucent overlays of repeated forms. The concrete sculptures with imbedded gravel appear as organic forms or found objects.
