This exhibition takes her away from her usual approaches to landscape to explore more abstract interpretations – allusions rather than replications of nature. Working with mixed media on wood panel, illustration board and yuppo plastic paper, Cooper begins with freely applied water based gouache. The surface is altered with water after it has dried and the paint is removed by blotting. Removing the paint is done with a variety of tools. When the initial composition is established, layers of glazes are applied with acrylic paint.
