ECHO OF SILENCE

The power of the natural world, its intrinsic energy, and fundamental properties, is dependent upon a fine balance. The balance of positive and negative forces resides in the smallest particles that make up our universe to concepts we live with every day.

Listening
To the chaos
the conflict
of voices
within the air
Waiting
for the wind
to clear
the fog
in the trees
stilling
the earth
and ripples
in the water
an echo of silence

The five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether have been present in my work for over fifty years. The geography of mountains, forest and water is constantly being newly illuminated within series of extensive multimedia. My materials change with their juxtaposition to each other: beeswax, damar resin, oil and pigments, stones, collected threads, old books and cloth, wood and glass, lead sheet and wire, precious metals. This allows me flexibility, complexity, and congruity with an awareness of the universal sacred space. Within these bodies of work, simplicity comes with the commitment to the ritual of patterns and repetition, marking, erasing and renewal. There is always an allowance for exploration beyond the norm, with play being essential. Each work becomes an offering to new possibilities: a modern mandala born out of ancient traditions. The historical reverence for the power and sacredness of earth spans the timeline of our memory. We live in a chaotic world. It is difficult to feel a part of the whole. There exists the loss of control and balance: personally, politically, and spiritually. Hopefully we will continue to find ways to understand and bond, not only to our environment, but most importantly, to each other.

Artist Catherine Eaton Skinner’s work asks something of us, gently. Each work becomes an offering to new possibilities. The Echo of Silence tackles the power of the natural world, its intrinsic energy and fundamental properties and its dependency upon a fine balance of positive and negative forces.

Exhibiting at the International Art Museum of America (IAMA) in San Francisco is exquisite for Skinner, a return to her artistic roots. Her creative sensibilities stem from growing up in the Pacific Northwest, her Biology BA from Stanford University and her painting instruction from Bay Area Figurative painters Nathan Oliveira and Frank Lobdell.

IAMA’s mission is to further the moral progress, spiritual well-being and cultural development of humanity through world-class art. This is Skinner’s firmament. Her work has a depth of layers, her materials changing with their juxtaposition to one another, matching her need to allow a work to be beautiful, as well as spiritual. Skinner asserts, “We live in a chaotic world. It is difficult to feel a part of the whole. Hopefully we will find ways to understand and bond, not only to our environment, but most importantly, to each other.”

Skinner’s recent exhibitions include Pie Projects, Santa Fe, NM; WaterWorks Gallery, Friday Harbor, WA; Perry and Carlson, Mount Vernon, WA; Las Cruces Museums: Branigan Cultural Center, Las Cruces, NM; Enterprise Library Gallery, Las Vegas, NV; Summerlin Performing Arts Center, Las Vegas, NV; and a 6-month/6-city traveling exhibition throughout Missouri.
