Exhibition Label: "NetWorks: Art and Artists from the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection," Mar-2011, Susan Earle, Stephen Goddard, and SMA Interns Edda Renouf believes that her working process reveals and uncovers the life and abstract energy within the materials she works with. She first incises her lines with an etching needle to remove particles of paper and then builds her composition with layers of chalk or oil pastel-or, as she poetically writes in 1989: You strike a match There is a spark There is energy, light So it is with drawing.
