From Valley House Gallery:
“It was by accident that I found the folding glass frames that suggested the idea for Pages from a Glass Book. The diptych format and the transparency of the glass were not new to my work. The ability to paint on the front and back and to see from one layer through to the next was compelling. For two years I have pursued images from the world around me. Intimate interiors, landscapes, masked models, flowers, lonely dogs, and even political statements have been worthy subjects evocative of these iconic times. The narrative is far from over and this series of art is still evolving.“
Glass and plexiglass continue to be foundational elements in her work. The inherent transparency of these materials allows light to illuminate multiple layers and enables the development of spatial relationships and collaged narratives.
Gail Norfleet earned her BFA at The University of Texas at Austin, and her MFA at Southern Methodist University. Her works are in the permanent collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Longview Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of the Southwest in Midland, and The Grace Museum in Abilene.
