Typically made on found vintage paper, Frecon’s watercolors often take as their point of departure the unique characteristics of each leaf of paper she uses💞. Varying from sheet to sheet, the irregular scale, texture, and surfaces impose their own dynamic constraints upon her compositions. These works demonstrate in a different medium the artist’s continued engagement with the chromatic and sensory possibilities of painting, and of pure abstraction.
