2011 Terra Temporalis Series: Pastel on Recycled Newspaper

[slideshow]This is the new series of pastels created this spring on recycled newspaper from some journals made long ago by the John Rossi Paper Co. There are in fact, little flecks of recycled newspapers - stock quotes, words, etc. Due to the transient nature of all things - especially news and newspaper - these works have been incorporated into the "Terra Temporalis" lineage of creative pieces that were begun in 2011.

A Brush with Life

Press

VISUAL ARTS: A Brush with Life Berkshire Living MagazineWritten byAlison McGee Art and activism share intimate space on Gabrielle Senza's canvasSitting at a small table nestled in the back of the bustling Fuel Coffee Shop in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, artist/activist Gabrielle Senza’s short hair—currently a deep, vibrant auburn—complements her lightly flushed cheeks and burnt-rose-tinted lips. Her dark blue nail polish matches the ink of her pen as she alternates between doodling and carefully illustrating components of her past and upcoming art projects while she talks about her life. She runs the pen back over the lines of an upside-down bud shape she drew moments before, a shape she says originated with her son, Matteo, describing how it made its way into her series of Survival Drawings and that it will be at the heart…

Rust Belt of America Series

Drawing, Painting, Work on Paper

This series began in the early nineties as a multi-media visual journal of my travels through the Rust Belt of America. Documenting the declining industrial cities located throughout Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, as well as Pennsylvania, I discovered some very ominous sites - some abandoned, some active and some protected by watchmen who had very little respect for anyone with a camera coming around the property. This is a selection of the large scale charcoal drawings I produced soon after my return to Housatonic. . . . . . . . . . . Ste.
