Conte on paper (1989)
This drawing was originally titled Under the Hill, after East Coker by T S Eliot.
“The houses are all gone under the sea.
The dancers are all gone under the hill.”
I said in 1989 that the image is about death and rebirth, about the passage of time and the rhythm of generations; that it also has to do with the elemental part of ourselves which we discover, recognize, only in times of extremity.

Inkjet and acrylic. Enhanced photo print hand finished, mounted on painted birch panel.
From an Ektachrome transparency double exposure (Toronto, 1975).
This piece is one of several (17) of mine now on exhibit as part of the annual Show of Smalls, Art Noise Kingston Ontario (https://www.artnoise.ca/store/c22/NANCY_PAUL.html) involving 25+ artists. I took this slide as a student at the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD); this is the first time I have reproduced the image for show/sale.

This work is part of a series I started many years ago, based on photographs taken my my husband, Steve. Fall and Winter (oil on canvas) were completed in the early 1980s. Spring (acrylic on re-purposed marble) I did in 2013. Summer languished unfinished for over 30 years, until I took another look recently. Not finished quite yet.
