"PAINTINGS BY PATRICIA CARRIGAN & MONOTYPES BY LIZ PAGANO"
Patricia Carrigan
Artist Statement
For me, painting is about telling stories and recalling memories. The predominant focus of my studio work is on heritage and how memories we pass on from generation to generation shift and evolve in significance depending upon what we choose to remember and what we choose to forget.
I work primarily in oil painting, drawing, or mixed media collage on primed canvas, board, or prepared papers usually on a series of 6 - 8 pieces at a time. I often will layer several surfaces and images, covering and uncovering as I go, seeking out what lies above or below my original image. This process of working abstractly with some definitive reference points reveals bits of imagery slowly over time like the telling of a story. I am most interested in how stories of personal experiences, myths, and personal legends change and alter each time told and how often we actively choose to rewrite history each time we tell a story.About The Artist

Artist Statement
A ring left by a coffee cup
Bark peeling off a tree
Oxidizing copper
Rusting metal
Stains, swirls, cracks, pits, and scars
A leaf that has fallen onto a
newly paved sidewalk then is
rained on, leaving a ghostly
impression of itselfAccidental beauty inspires me. I
love looking at textures and how
they reveal a history.I’m always searching for
unexpected possibilities. My work
magnifies moments, capturing
movements, sometimes reactions
or fusions.
It’s gestural.The part I can’t control keeps me
chasing/searching/movingMy process is about exploring
interactions of chance and control,
of coincidence and intent.
