New work by Cathy Stone
August 1 – 31, 2015
In her first solo exhibition at Another Year in LA, Los Angeles-based artist; Cathy Stone is choosing to release new work throughout the month which invites the viewer to return time and time again rather than have it all at once. In this exhibition, FOLLOW, Stone will reveal new works that allow us to "follow" along as she leads us on her journey.
From her artist statement, Stone says of the art that will be shown, "The works focus on concepts of gravity and movement; concepts that I have been exploring for a number of years and are created by the use of template forms which provide the vehicle for expression and continuation of movement. The works range in scale from small/intimate to long Japanese scroll drawings spanning 20’ in length. Both formats offer modes of expression specific to the size and possibilities or constraints inherent within the definitive scale of the work.
The drawings are comprised of mixed media/collage, coffee stains/painting and graphite. A variety of papers are used, selected for their specific weights and transparencies to achieve the desired effects in the drawings. The visual “weight” of the graphite is achieved by varying the size and variety in the pencils utilized.
More than the technical properties utilized in the creation of the drawings, the intent and inherent visual dynamics of the works are the focus and are determined spontaneously while creating each work. The opportunity to engage and follow a drawing, moving and letting it lead one to the next required mark and motion is the challenge and intrigue of the process.
