charla puryear

My art form is called frottage. I wrap canvas around trees and rocks, apply paint to the canvas and, by rubbing, transfer the texture onto the canvas. These textures provide the foundation for my paintings, which are completed in my studio. Frottage painting is my way of collaborating with rocks and trees, and honoring them by amplifying their voices.
