Shannon Rae Fincke. The Long Conversation Of The Unsaid

About

The Long Conversation of the Unsaid, is a culmination of new work by Fincke that focuses on the dialogue between herself and the materials—as well as in conversation with her father, Gary Fincke’s poetry, fiction and nonfiction—to create a bond between the image, color and spatial relationships, media, surface, and scale—be it intimate or encompassing. She has long found it meaningful to focus on the materiality of paint and surfaces in her exploration of emotional and psychological intensity. Fincke creates organic shifts between subject and environment—dissolving figurative elements into near abstraction to emphasize the ephemerality of memory, time, and conceptions of who we are, what has happened, and what might happen next within the fluctuating surfaces. She works on a piece until the imagery contrasts and connects with evolving, uncertain environments and surface qualities—until the composition feels alive in its tension, unity and meaning.
