Experiment in Your Creative Process with Marina Dunbar
This week on the You Are a Work of Art Podcast: Experiment in Your Creative Process with Marina Dunbar
I am so happy to welcome Mrs. Marina Dunbar on the show!
From Marina herself, "My paintings are nature-based abstractions, composed through harmonious movement, material improvisation and layers of translucent color. The paintings bear resemblance to elements in nature while simultaneously departing from literal representations. Each painting seeks a level of reservation as well as an embrace of the unforeseeable.
My relationship with painting is very physical. In my process I manipulate the surface of each piece, granting it a sculptural quality. I move around the painting, positioning myself to direct paint flow from specific angles. The process lends itself to the build up of layers, capturing traces of time and movement. The practice is both seductive and uncertain. Fluid media is sensitive to its environment; a deep breath, a slight shift of focus, a sound in the distance all impact the process causing the paint to sway from the pre-determined path."
