Treasure in Clay
Mixed media on panel
11" x 14"
$1,200 USD
Look into this small, deep surface and it opens like a cave lit by a lantern. Thick crusts of teal, charcoal and slate rise and crack across the panel, studded with glints of gold and soft blooms of pink, while bright coral red stones seem to surface from deep within. A pale sweep of jade and cream glows near the top like light falling through an opening. Mandie built the layers in heavy, sculptural textures, then let them dry, split and settle into their own landscape, held inside a weathered silver frame. Finding it is like uncovering buried treasure, raw and glittering, waiting patiently to be found.
Deep and richly textured, it is best enjoyed up close, on a study wall, beside a reading chair or above a small console. Teal and charcoal look beautiful with dark wood, aged leather and handmade pottery, and a small picture light will make its glints sparkle.

The Collections
Pigment breaks loose across the surface, feathered forms climbing through bands of color, caught in the instant before they open all the way.
Paint falls in continuous vertical streams, layer over layer, color caught mid-descent before it ever reaches the ground.
At the edge of the visible world, resin, pigment powders, and luminous forms suggest planetary landscapes no one has named yet.
Immediate, unguarded and alive. Color erupts, gestures cut across fields of pattern, painting as a way of releasing what words cannot hold.
Burlap, plaster, and mixed media hold the memory of surfaces worn by time, artifacts of a history that was never written down.
Pigment flows in channels across white ground, color finding its own path the way water finds a bed to run through.
Pigment pools and cracks across the surface, veined like a lakebed or a membrane, ground still settling into its shape.
