2015 Martha Groome Statements

I ask how it is, why it is, what it is, about everything, all the time
-except when I am dumbstruck by an unexpected meeting with whatever beauty is.

My painting is a bare quiet uncluttered form of abstraction, incidental geometry, thoughts made temporarily real, something near-nothing made to be encountered and considered.

I am influenced by anything in the world outside myself -whale songs, celestial events, space in a room, the heavy presence of the rocks in the woods down the road, the paintings of Matisse, the piles of dirt and mirrors of Robert Smithson, the choosings and placings of Ufan Lee....

I am always trying to put my finger on what is ultimately immeasurable and unnameable.

My painting is made to be simple easy direct, a sensation of presence with no instructions.

There is a moment before recognition and categorization of the objects and situations encountered every day.

Over time, I have reduced the number of elements of painting that I use to only a few because a few are enough.
