Artist Lynette Haggard

Lynette Haggard – Artist Statement

My work is a pursuit of balance between sensory perception and the process of creating a history with marks and color. What interests me is the play between the unpredictable and the structured, tactile yet intangible, resulting in surface and imagery that is evocative to the viewer.

As I work, I may be guided by a combination of a thought, a sensory cue, memory or emotional response. My process is both additive and subtractive. I apply layers of paint, perhaps adding paper, marks, or found objects. In between layers, I fuse with a torch, heat gun or hot tool. Sometimes I score and mark the surface to reveal the colors, marks and history beneath.

Using these multiple approaches, I am able to create a history while working within the formal constraints of the edges of the panel. The result is an exploration of the process and the relationships of the surface I am creating. The paintings incorporate juxtaposition and various associations between the areas of activity on the surface. A color, an edge, a mark, a drip, a stroke, or an added material will define the tactile activity within the space and surface. The results are intimate explorations, associations and a history through layering.
