Vangi Cathcart "Mardi Gras" 8-26-12

“Mardi Gras”
Vangi Cathcart
Watercolor, 12" x 16" Framed
$75

         Wintering in  Florida in 2008 I joined the Venice Art Center where I attended a workshop.  The instructor challenged us to work in negative space.Which meant filling in a piece of paper with black leaving white spaces. Once that was completed we were than told to observe the white spaces and then begin to fill them in with color. Gradually I saw feathers emerging from my work. Once the feathers were completed the mask became evident, I gave shape to some of the black image creating a mask, the composition finished. I looked at the work and realized I had made a  Mardi Gras mask. The conscious and unconscious working together.                          ~ Vangi Cathcart
