From a recent newsletter:
I've just had the pleasure of working with Carole Milon on her artist statement. First we met one-one-one and went through examples of statements, guidelines and suggestions for structure. We talked about a process of reflection and articulation that I recommend for writing and then had a look at what she had written so far. Carole was highly motivated and spent the next couple of days writing a new statement, which we then sent back and forth by email to edit and refine it. Here is the first paragraph and an image from her work as reference. Enjoy!

An excerpt from her artist statement:
"I call them landscapes, though they are not traditional depictions of a vista or long view, there is no horizon
line. My work reflects an intimate view of the earth, like the rough texture of a Shagbark Hickory tree, or the
microscopic topography of Candleflame lichen. Inspired by walking in the woods of Ontario and beyond, my
mixed-media works on paper recall the visceral, tactile memory of being in nature. I approach the mystery of
the land by exploring its textures, colours and layers. My marks are intentionally spare, giving viewers an
opportunity to reflect on their own personal relationship to the natural environment. www.carolemilon.com
