"Submersion", oil on canvas, 48 x 48", 2016
Margy Lavelle has spent the past 10 years making oil paintings influenced by her surroundings in the flats of the Skagit Valley; the marshes, deltas, creek beds, bay shores and open farm fields. With the ricocheting light and moist air there has always been a diaphanous quality captured in her work. A year ago she lost vision in one eye for a month due to a retinal condition. Sight was eventually restored but not fully corrected. The uncertainty of where edges actually lie and what she would see the next time she opened her eyes became a kind of exploration in her studio that she refers to as "Lessons in how not to know". This new body of work evolved out of that time including a first step into 3 dimensional form. The constructions were inspired by the abandoned hunting structures, called duck blinds, found along the bay where her painting imagery is often drawn from.
