Kathleen Markowitz : Monotypes & Mixed Media

I’m drawn to the sheer physicality of making a painting and the tactical
engagement of materials… I am drawn to the color blue.” K. Markowitz

Monotypes

Monotypes are one of a kind, unique prints. This work was made through applications of ink rolled and manipulated on the non absorbent surface of a Plexiglas plate. Damp paper was placed over the worked surface and with the help of a press, the impressions are pulled from onto the paper. Additional markings and sometimes patches of glued color amend the work after the paper has dried. This process allows me to address the formal concerns of both painting and drawing, and produces work with a remarkable transparent and “layered” quality that is not otherwise achieved.

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
