“The many layers of my paintings and drawings are a basic part of that search
for inner knowledge. In my drawings, I use six
different charcoals—the layers upon layers are a way of getting to the point of connection where
a couple of strokes finish the
work. When that happens, the link between the work and me is literally physical.”
-Gail Foster
Light, movement, and spirituality inspires Foster’s artistic process. After continued
layering and drawing she evaluates until each
work unveils a sense of passion and inner light. Gail’s recent project has evolved from the
two dimensional realm of her past- A
new piece” Wind and Water” began with a front mounted photo of a charcoal that initiated
the endeavor. She then created a fore,
mid, and background by layering a delicate textured fabric and carefully sculpted gossamer behind a
guard of plexi.
