Casein on linen over wooden panel, 18” x 18” x 1”
In her series, Fields of Transformation, Nancy Daubenspeck works with numerous layers of color fields and overlapping dots and grids. The work is meditative, intimate, and very much an outgrowth of the medium.
The paint is hand mixed from dry pigment, grounds and casein; a casein distemper. Daubenspeck spent many years working with plaster and found in casein the same soft luminous quality and surface.
“These began with an influence of iconography; especially Byzantine Iconography and Fresco. That was many iterations ago. The narrowness of the format forces a constraint in which I am continually challenged to find a sort of 3rd space which I have come to think of as the Field of Transformation.”
