Description

<a href="https://art2life.com/">https://Art2Life.com</a> - Authenticity is often present in strong, moving art. This ingredient is a given. But sometimes art can be even more significant in feel. It can be universal. I can’t always put my finger on how this occurs, but I can recognize it. The work feels bigger. It references far more than what is contained within its borders. Oregon-based artist Vanessa Marsh makes this kind of work. Her art is similar to photography, but on closer examination, it is not. Vanessa constructs much of her work using darkroom techniques, collage, drawing, and painting. Her varied images of landscapes, trees, and night constellations seem familiar, like a collective shared memory. They have a specificity but also remarkably a universality. Her work is beautifully varied, but all of it shares a common subject matter: light itself. Join us for this expansive conversation about constellations, human connection, and the nature of light. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Getting to know Vanessa Marsh and how her upbringing impacts her art [1:22] Reconnecting us to the cosmos [14:27] Painting in reverse and the logistics of Vanessa’s art-making [20:24] The role silhouette and reduction play in Vanessa’s work [32:37] Keeping the work going and the road ahead for Vanessa [38:59] ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Adam Gerlach’s (Vanessa’s husband) website and Instagram
