Weary
Mixed media on panel
36" x 24"
Rust, mauve, olive gold and charcoal tumble together at the center of a pale, chalky field, like weathered stone that has carried too much for too long. The marbled layers fold over one another in heavy currents, broken open by small pools of white and lit here and there by a seam of ochre. Above, a dark ragged edge rises against the light, and thin drips run down the right side as if the surface itself were tired. The ground around it is textured and slightly rough, scattered with fine flecks. Mandie poured these earthy tones and let them settle, mingle and slow on their own. There is fatigue in it, yes, but also a warmth glowing beneath, the kind that waits patiently for rest.
Rooms with history suit it best: a study with old leather chairs, a stone-walled cottage, a bedroom with weathered oak. Raw ceramics, wool throws and a single lamp let its rust, mauve and charcoal currents feel grounded and at ease.

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.
