Title: Folds XIX

Artist: Jeanine Marchand

Marchand leaves much of her work’s identity to audience interpretation, but her monochromatic surfaces have been carefully refined to be particularly sensitive to interplays of light and shadow — the work seeming to elicit a striking sensory reaction from such devotional attention to sophisticated material qualities. in “Folds XIX”, the boundaries of clay are massaged and re-proportioned so that the substance seems to have been transmogrified, becoming silken and gently folding like a sheet of cloth — and with the suggestion that a brief contact could entirely redistribute the creases and ruffled layers.
