IEA Member Artist Profile
Tracey Adams
Tracey Adams is a painter, printmaker, and musician who consistently has been drawn to art forms that are sympathetic to structure
yet open to improvisation. Her work shows an interest in the interplay of color, line, and shape where relationships of harmony and
balance play a significant role. Her recent investigations into the mathematical expression of the proportional ratio found in nature
and known as the Golden Section have had an influence on her work.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Working in series, developing subsequent paintings from those just created, like theme and variations, I exhaust the possibilities
for exploration. Many times I will scrape down or paint over existing paintings or works on paper that are not successful, aware
that I must create something much stronger. Influenced by nature and the coastal environment where I live, I am drawn to patterns,
puzzles, geometry and the endless connections I’m able to make within that realm. The translucence created by the wax and resin
yields a wonderful appearance of illumination from within. Always demanding, sometimes to the point of frustration, encaustic provides
a balance of chaos and structure that satisfies while at the same time challenges my ongoing desire for problem solving.
