Trude Parkinson Visual Artist

Trude Parkinson Visual Artist Trude Parkinson is a visual artist living and working in Portland, Oregon, whose primary medium is p And it oxidizes.

The human body, with all of its vitality, mutability, and scars, is an accretion of stardust. So I make its image by oxidizing sheet silver and silver leaf on silk, recycled kimono fabric, or paper, adding oil paint, graphite, or whatever medium adds an element of surprise. I steal, taking inspiration from sources that happen to pass my way. Some, like Buddhism, have been around a long time. Some,

like Jung’s philosophy of shadow, found me when I was young, browsing through a neighborhood library on a search for freedom. Others, like Morandi’s repetition of imagery, linger and then surface. Still others, I find daily in books such as the fantastic Ardor by Roberto Calasso or in small discoveries like fingerprints visible in a terracotta figure from the Minoan era. I work slowly, allowing time to seep into my images. I search for accidents as though they were signs. I paint as a passion, as play, and as meditation.
