About the Ebook
My quillwork paintings began in 2006 as skyscapes inspired by specific places I’d traveled to, either in my imagination or on holiday. The works in this exhibition refer directly to something tangible. They may be ephemeral recollections or fragments of photographs. My intention is to explore the poetry of color, the shifting of time (especially in the literal shift that occurs as you view the pieces from the side and then full frontally). Gemstones and minerals, and frequently opals, inspired several of these new pieces, whose titles refer to the place where that color of stone might be mined. The contradiction of pretty vs. ugly occurs constantly in my work --- utterly gorgeous moments that belie personal pain.

About the Creator
ELLEN FRANCES TUCHMAN
Dallas, Texas
As a child, I deeply loved the Ice Capades and circus costumes – spectacle, color, general exuberance, a joy of surface. I am haunted by the mirrored house I saw at LACMA and Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” ride, with its screwy-colored flora. The counterpoints of paint/beads, digital imagery/hand-sewn embellishment exist in my carefully constructed narratives. A wealth of fanciful materials continues to serve as my palette; nostalgia becomes a vehicle for marking time, with painstaking and obsessively crafted moments showing a portal to our romanticized past.
