DisCerning Eye - By Mark Jenkins

The procedure suits Campbell's style, which emphasizes colors and forms that are tiered and sometimes partly submerged. The layering can continue in such collages as "Flip Sides," in which the artist combines shards of her own monotypes into a jostling, vibrant whole. While such works could potentially benefit from "happy accidents," they also demonstrate the artist's control. The way the pieces fit together may be random, but ultimately becomes definitive. Campbell's artworks convey light and motion, ephemeral yet fixed in a perpetual moment.

“I currently consider myself a painter first,” the artist notes in her statement. That explains her affinity for monotypes, which are often made by applying pigment to a matrix that is then printed to yield a single, painterly impression. Her monotypes feature soft, fluid colors and organic shapes, such as the leaflike overlapping forms of the yellow-dominated “Aspen.” Image and medium combine to conjure a vision of natural objects in profusion, arranged randomly yet harmoniously.
