My present work is a process of trying to discover my most authentic aesthetic. This process creates joy and sorrow, simultaneously taking me to great heights and depths. The search for resolution is a constant. Sometimes grace finds me and a piece happens in minutes; other times I must work for months or even years to find that resting-place called “doneâ€.
I use a wax medium to facilitate the movement of the oil paint, and various oil bars and pencils to create an edge and focus, to balance the amorphous quality of the oil/wax mix.†For more information on Beth, please visit: https://www.bethshields.com
The greatest form has no shape.
That without substance can enter where there is no room.
The Tao is hidden and without name.
The form of the formless,
The image of the imageless;
Darkness within darkness,
The gate to all mystery.
-Lao Tsu, 6th century BC
