Pam Poquette - Glyph 35 (Ink, flashe, and thread, on cotton rag paper, 11" x 8", 2020
I create drawings and paintings that capture an imagined world, inhabited by shapeshifters. I refer to these beings as glyphs; forms that emerge from a repeated vocabulary of abstract symbols - my invented visual language. Self-animated, the glyphs tease the viewer as they appear and disappear within their surrounding landscape; their ambiguous forms are in constant flux. Like artifacts, my drawings and paintings can provide passage into the narrative that exists within this imagined world through emotive color, stylized lines, and embroidery. They slowly begin to reveal stylistic details and temporal relationships that can only emerge in time.
