Harriet Wood: "Inner Doors"
Just over fifteen years ago, Vermont artist Harriet Wood took a turn toward abstract expressionism in her work. Wryly, Wood states that working in this genre is no longer akin to jumping into the abyss, like it was in the fifties, but that it continues to be challenging. Moreover, she explains, abstract expressionism provides her with the sort of physicality, focus and emotional connection that she needs with her work.
