ARTIST STATEMENT

"SKIN DEEP, drawings of encaustic on prepared paper. These days our immediate shared experience is distant from the picture of the world we see in the newspapers. There is certainly a dissonance between my own life and the larger world. As if a mirror of these thoughts, the “skin” of my drawings, the encaustic, has become less dominant and the under painting has asserted itself. The nature of the medium that I am using, that of a layer of wax hiding or masking the under painting, led me to think of the duality of our public and private lives. I chose the title, Skin Deep, because so much of what we experience in our lives is a fabrication constructed from and simultaneously masking an invisible infrastructure, because so much of what we believe to be reality hides the labor and environmental costs that make our comforts possible. Skin Deep alludes to the corporeal. Skin, as in hide, is fragile and easily torn or cut. It is generated by what is underneath and can be destroyed by it as well."


– Mona J. Marshall, 2007


ARTIST BIO

Mona Marshall of Austin Texas studied at Tyler School of Art in Rome and earned her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited in SanFrancisco, L.A., N.Y. and Texas. She has received first place awards in the “International Encaustic Exhibition” and in “Celebrating Texas Art." Marshall has been granted four residencies at the MacDowell Colony, and was a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome. She became a Master Naturalist in Austin in 2012. In 2019 Marshall was invited to participate in two exhibitions in South Korea--Draw Engrave Make, in Suncheon, and Present Tense, in Incheon.


Marshall has long had an interest in the relationship of the natural world with human enterprise. The work for her show Three Stories About Water at Southwest School of Art, tells stories of the absence of water, the beneficence of water deep underground, and the paths water travels.
