TRACEY PHYSIOC BROCKETT portfolio contact about blog portfolio / Tangles 2020-2021 Although this work has it's roots in the Daily Tangles produced for a few years prior, what changed was the Pandemic lockdown, and a year of intensive study with few distractions. What had been a kind of placeholder work that bridged small islands of studio time in a work week now became more focused. They were no longer just quick sketches, but shifting from a quick capture of a thought to a working out of a system. I seem to enjoy a certain tension between 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional art. My drawings and paintings always feel to me as if they want to lift off of the page and grow into space. My sculptures have an uneasy relationship with their own shadows. Likewise, my work often explores other dualities, especially the tension between the well worked out and the ad hoc gestural. I honor the moment when, through process, through trial and error, a work holds both refinement and awkward rawness in a kind of balance. 9.6.21 2021 ink, acrylic and mica on paper 16 x 16 9.7.21 2021 ink, acrylic on paper 13 x 13.25 8.11.21 2021 ink, acrylic on paper 16 x 16 6.10.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 13 x 13 5.19.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 16 x 16 undated1 2020 ink and crylic on paper undated 2 2020 ink and acrylic on paper 7.28.21 2021 ink, acrylic and mica on paper 13 x 13 8.14.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 16 x 16 8.15.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 16 x 16 8.5.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 14 x 11 5.23.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 8.16.21 2021 acrylic, ink, dry pigment on paper 16 x 16 6.15.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 16 x 16 5.22.21 2021 ink and acrylic on paper 16 x 16 © copyright Tracey Physioc Brockett, 2021 all rights reserved
