Texture, by way of reduction, is accomplished by scraping into the work, by wiping off paint and gouging out the surface with drills, knives, and carving tools. Mediums, fillers, glazes, paper, wax, and found objects are Ms. Lewis' sources of additive texture. Her biggest influences are the New York modernists from the 1950's and 60's and fabric art from the 70's. Sonia Birk
