Finding My Lines—Paintings by Noel Danforth

The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff . — Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Artist Statement

I paint abstracts because I ﬁnd them beguiling. I use the word liminal to describe the space in which I work because it is an unformed in-between place that contains possibility and allows for not knowing. There is a ﬂow, and there is also a conversation.

Working with curiosity and embodied knowledge, painting is my conversation with the canvas. Putting myself broadside to receptivity, I work with my susceptibility to color and form. And like a conversation with a friend, the conversation grows deeper and richer as it develops.

The viewer also holds a conversation with the painting. Connection happens, or it doesn’t, but an ultimate joy in painting is when a viewer ﬁnds resonance with your work.

Paintings are totems of conversation. Good paintings are beautiful because they connect us—wordlessly.
