Menchen, Paula
Through experimentation with techniques, I build compositions, breaking them down into abstracted surfaces. Deconstructing surfaces to establish connections between layers,
integrating visual surface and physical spaces found in architecture and provocative
landscapes from memory. Using landscape and seascapes as inspiration, I juxtapose the
ideas of vast spaces in contrast with intimate places and fleeting moments focusing on the
ephemeral art and impermanence. The journey as experience is essential to why I
deconstruct surfaces investigating what is familiar and what is obscure or unknown. I am
constantly contemplating the beauty and ethereal quality of nature and places I once called home.
