About Dana
Philosophy
In my art my objective is to produce work that will evoke a sense of the sublime. It is this tension between the infinite and the finite that makes one aware of the existence of the Divine; lifting us beyond the tangible confines of reality even as we become more aware of them.
Style
I have experimented with a multi-disciplinary approach combining various media and methods to achieve a final 'image' which is, in some way, a distillation of an 'artistic' experience. These approaches include visual stimuli, automatic mark making, and conscious intervention in order to achieve an image which is highly personal and yet can be interpreted and understood in an individual, unique way by each viewer who experiences their own 'reality' when confronted with the completed art work. The relationships of the forms, lines and colours in my mixed media works are part of a dramatic and emotional meaning in which the formal relationships bear the meaning of the work.
Technique
My technique consists of layering various materials on to selected surfaces. In this way I reflect the layers of meaning, of evolution and experience that ultimately form the person we become. Each medium has its own language created by its unique properties. Applying the materials gesturally and freely I combine the techniques employed in printmaking, painting and drawing, adding or removing marks and effects to focus the composition while retaining a sense of space, light and mood which is intended to induce an experience of the sublime in the viewer
