I enjoy\u00a0using arcane tools such as silverpoint which was often used as a drawing tool before graphite was invented. \u00a0It was used primarily before and during the Renaissance and required great skill since the drawings could not be erased or modified easily. \u00a0Unlike graphite there isn&#8217;t the ability to smudge or soften the lines, each mark is distinct. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The physical process of drawing in a precious metal offers both precision and the ghost-like atmosphere I produce\u00a0in my work. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This duality is part of a visual language where I am able to process my own experiences in the world&#8211; to explore the space between dream and waking, between impression and clarity, between our everyday lives and the over-looked\u00a0natural world happening around us all the time. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The ethereal quality of intricately layering marks in metalpoint lends itself particularly well to this as it acts as a living drawing while it tarnishes and reflects the light. Silverpoint\u00a0quietly asks the viewer to step closer, take a deeper look, and enter this world where predators are kissed with beauty and revered for their darkness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module feature -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.tb-column-inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \/row_inner_wrapper -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marla Fasano is an artist living and working in the Hudson Valley of New York.
