‘Improvisation’

What fun it is to improvise, to create something without planning. Some call that play, but for artists, it’s a form of work. It’s what makes the creative juices flow. Britany Baker and Linda Erzinger are showing their improvised art during the August 28 FAT Friday Trolley Hop (If you can’t make it during the Hop, call the gallery for an appointment.) “My process for making abstract, non-objective art is mostly stream of consciousness,” states Baker, “a cross between meditation and a conversation with the piece of art.” Erzinger explains, “For the past three winters I followed an impulse to paint. No expectations or goal … just paint. As the paint flowed so did my thoughts, feelings and concepts of time and space.”
