Curator Comments

Gail Norfleet’s new work on layers of transparent Lucite can be viewed as a natural progression after years spent as a printmaker creating monoprints. When making her early monoprints, she would often use clear plastic plates through which she could see the images before transferring them onto paper with a printing press. The new works of art on view in this exhibition reveal how Norfleet has mastered the technique of painting on transparent surfaces. Now using multiple Lucite panels, she works on both sides to create up to four different surfaces on which she can layer paintings, drawings, cut paper collages, and photographs to create her signature style of multi-dimensional artwork. 

Norfleet explains that her surroundings have always inspired her subject matter. Even today, she continues to share her unique, dream-like personal dialogue by creating nuanced memories through multi-dimensional paintings of her recent travels to Morocco and New Mexico.
