Mitch Donaldson, Radicle Cut 1 2020, Synthetic polymer on plywood, 61 x 41 cm
MITCH DONALDSON
Radicle Cuts
The radicle is the embryonic root that first emerges from a seed during germination. My works begin with a seed in the form of a sheet of plywood. A meandering line cut with a scroll saw is the radicle of this seed that activates its unfurling and growth. The plywood forms created by this cutting are extensively re-painted and re-arranged throughout the evolution of a composition. I am interested in this mutability of collage-based painting as an expression of the biological processes and evolutionary forces that shape living things. ~ Mitch Donaldson
