- Lot Description
1988, Pastilles, two circular pale discs with small circular foot, one signed to base "Merryll Saylan Maple Calif", the other signed indistinctly, larger 2 x 6-1/8 in.
Note: "Form, contrast, pattern, texture and color are primary themes in my work. Bowls and platters serve as my canvas on which to investigate and explore surface manipulation and visual images. The nature of wood - with its inherent differences in color, grain, texture and density - offers the ground for experimentation with pigments and texture. The recent multiples and installations allow for more complex studies by the juxtaposition of one piece to another. Environment has always affected my work and living next to a salt marsh with its movement and patterns from tidal action is reflected on my surfaces. I have been influenced and attracted to the work and themes of artists such as Morandi, Wayne Thiebaud, Agnes Martin, and Hans Coper." .
Provenance: Private Collection, New York
Condition
minor areas of discoloration (as made), mild scratching, each with painted accession number to base "AC1(2)"
