Patricia Scialo - Artist Statement
My photographic works are created primarily from an intuitive starting point, transforming the subject through light.
With the use of a lens, I start the process of image making creating abstract forms that emphasize line and shadow. Through the printmaking process I continue to manipulate the image with various techniques such as hand applied light sensitive emulsions, encaustic and graphite.
Within the imagery I compose, I strive to create depth, giving the viewer the opportunity to look within, pause and contemplate the subtleties of what lies beneath.
