Camrose Ducote: New Work

For her solo exhibition, Vancouver-based Ducote has created a series of process-oriented, mixed-media abstractions on paper. Working with spackle compound, acrylic medium and acrylic paint, she adds and subtracts many expressive layers, rubbing, scraping and repainting, then applies bits of paper culled from earlier works, building up more layers. The resulting compositions, mounted on wood panels, are, the artist says, “a reflection of the transient nature of life.”
