BIOGRAPHY

Dawn Nelson
Artist’s Statement


I pounce on glimpses,
capturing images that twitch in my subconscious.

I move by instinct, marking the paper.
Like awakening from a catnap, the images reflect
not one experience, but a montage.
Remembering and responding, the light, dark, and color
tell stories from the alley.

My path can be detected in the
tracks of charcoal, wax, ink, and paint.
Rips, drips, and ooze brush and encounter.
I stalk fields with false starts, blunders, and victories.

I watch out, I reach in, and I reemerge.
Painting, I see in the dark,
continuing my travels,
my nine lives.
