An unapologetic formalist, she pares down color and simplifies shapes and composition to the fundamentals of line, gesture, form and texture nestled within layers of staining, glazing, mark-making, and drawing. The process is a constant dialogue of addition and subtraction among the formal qualities of abstract painting and gestural drawing, the dance of the maker and the media. Bryce is inspired by nature, its colors, textures, shapes, and the play of light and dark. She is interested in creating balance with a visual language that conveys simplicity, complexity, and mystery.
