Paintings and Sculpture in Encaustic & Mixed Media Art Reception: March 5, from 11 AM to 3 PM* Artist Talk: March 12, 1 – 3 PM*
In “The Weight of our Environment,” Marcie reveals her connection made during the pandemic with the figure and nature. Her initial charcoal drawings, embedded in encaustic medium, become the subject of her encaustic paintings. Additionally, she has translated her 2D drawings to 3D sculptures in wood cutouts, standing forms, and tiny interiors—- created environments for her figures. Her work includes paper mache, cardboard, and encaustic paint.
"The weight is our responsibility. We're all connected- it can be positive, how we live with, learn from, and love others and our natural environment, but it can also be negative. Choices individuals make can and do affect the community and the world at large. My show includes positive connections made during the COVID-19 pandemic such as:
Drawing models I would have never met from all over the world online. I have been able to draw them in their homes, meet their partners, and new babies.
Drawing nature and animals and learning about these creatures among students and friends.
Throughout the pandemic I've seen more and more despair, but positive connections made through art have resulted in stronger bonds in the local and global art community."
Marcie Wolf-Hubbard is supported in part by funding from the Montgomery County Government and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
