Julia Coash’s mixed media paintings combine recycled maps, nautical charts, and water media, juxtaposing wet against dry as a means of exploring the tensions between material and soluble forms in our world. Strong gestural marks suggest both terrestrial and atmospheric rivers while circular forms allude to both the micro and macroscopic such as atoms, bubbles or planetary phenomena. Themes of interconnection are explored through the play between positive and negative shapes and visual rotation. Interwoven marks both emerge and are submerged, suggesting both meander maps and the ebb and flow of water levels. This dynamic expresses the delicate balance between land and water on our fragile planet.
