Tracy Miller: Food Paintings19 January – 13 February 2011< PAST
.the circle and circular things frequently appear in your ptngs—what are they about?
Circular marks feel like familiar characters, and the repetition and patterns create new places. The circles could be stars from getting up too fast, or could be bubbles, cookies, plates, zits, marshmallows, tabletops, bugs—or just paint.

.have you any interest in making completely abstract ptngs?
Yes, but I can never figure out how to finish them.

.how about completely representational still lives?
No, the way the paintings get made now is open enough to allow me to be in the middle of the mess of them. I need the abstraction to allow the surprises.

.the images of things seem to function differently than areas or blotches of color, would you comment on how you use them or see them functioning?
For the most part, the images allow viewers to rest. The relationship between images also creates space.

.you've used a lot of pink and red, both colors with a great deal of resonance; how decided is their use?
Colors that vibrate and pop are always the ones I choose, and if they have extra associations, that’s all the better
