Nanette Wallace’s gestural artwork is created as an emotional response to the world around her. She feels deeply connected to bodies of water, the play of light, and the power of art and nature to heal and lift her up. Her monotypes feature women in liminal spaces, inspired by a combination of natural and other-worldly settings. Her ethereal figures capture private moments of contemplation and solitude that both connect and distance themselves from the viewer. Nanette’s richly colored monotypes are created using crude tools including q-tips, her fingertips wrapped in cloth, and brayers to add and remove ink from a plexiglass plate. Her practice revolves around following impulse through a process of iteration inspired by her "ghost" images left on the plate after making her monotypes. By utilizing this process she is able to reimagine her initial ideas and respond to the nuances of the medium until her desire to follow the imagery and/or impulse has been satisfied.
