Pam Shields: Iterations
Ceres Gallery is pleased to present Iterations, by Pam Shields.
Drawing is a daily practice for artist Pam Shields. It is a form of meditation. She begins her day in the studio by closing her eyes, centering herself, dipping brush into ink and attempting to express her inner state in a single stroke.
During her daily practice, Shields experimented with different types of paper. By chance, she tried some sheets of acetate. The ink coalesced in interesting ways on the slick surface. Seeing the acetate pieces hanging on her studio wall, she realized the cast shadows were an integral part of the piece.
Shields took her ink drawings and used them to create individual screen prints. She then printed these images repetitively on acetate scrolls, revealing intricate patterns of ink. The resulting shadows became yet another iteration of the work.
