Welcome. I invite you to enjoy and inquire about the images and thoughts on various bodies of work. Be sure to visit my blog, accessed above under "About" then "Studio and Environment," the intent of which is to communicate some of the meaningful images, places and people in my world, hopefully providing insight into my work. I welcome your thoughts at saundra@sumcpherson.com. |
My work is shaped by my experience in the natural realm - years spent exploring wild places and abandoned urban landscapes - and by a passion for science. Principles of geology, botany, astronomy and physics inform both content and process.
Much of the work investigates change and the act of becoming. I am fascinated with physical transformation in natural phenomena, whether on a geologic time scale or in a moment's reflection. And I am an observer of human behavior and the transformative role of humanity's place in natural historical context.
The physical act of painting as I practice it is driven by exploration, chance, gravity. My process entails building a history of surfaces, forces and materials over time, affecting the dynamics of color, light and form.
