Intersections

by Candace Heidenrich

“Creating a personal visual vocabulary to engage the viewer is key to my work. As an intermedia artist, abstraction itself speaks to a hidden language and unrevealed experiences. Over the years, my style has shifted from mixed media work to installation, and now, in recent years, a return back to mixed media and painting. The intersection of painterly marks allows me to puzzle and edit, weaving shapes, texture, colors and line into unexpected vocabularies and compositions. My intent is to allow the viewer to enter into a collective language and visual experience through their own imaginings.”
