Artist Jane Allen Nodine

Jane Allen Nodine– Artist Statement

Having worked in a variety of materials and styles during my career I tend to make creative decisions based on the process that will render the best results for my ideas. In recent years my primary research has involved computer manipulation of digital imagery and techniques for merging traditional photography and drawing with new forms of imaging and print technology. In 2006 I introduced wax and encaustic painting into the work.

I am inspired by various sources with a heavy emphasis on nature, but I am also strongly influenced by advertising, popular culture, art history, and by all means living and working in the South. Currently I am developing a body of image-based work, that parallels an abstract series of patterns and textures inspired by nature. Both are driven by cultural and historical sources with an emphasis on nature and memory as related to record, trace elements, or the vestige of some past activity. These works incorporate naturally occurring marks and patterns made from iron oxidation (rust), burn marks, and monotypes pulled from various surfaces. The patterns and marks are applied to panels between layers of paper, wax, and encaustic medium. As the layers develop, some elements become obscured in the hazy surface of the wax as others become more evident and appear to float or come forward in the luminous properties of the material. Many years of working as a jewelry metalsmith has given me a keen sense of heat as a tool in making art, and the molten wax has quenched my desire for working in a liquid state that can move to a cooled, firm and durable material. The encaustic process and the endless capabilities of wax, including the warm honey aroma, the historical significance, and luscious surfaces, have energized my ideas and opened new directions for my work.

I often describe my approach to making art as a process of excavation. Visual and conceptual clues reveal ideas and images that emerge in both anticipated and unexpected ways but destination is never the same twice, and there is no map, no definitive ending or preconceived plan of travel; only a sense that something waits to be revealed.
