At low tide, I carry my inks and brushes over the slippery rocks and find a place to sit and paint on my lap. As I paint, I abandon my need to describe the subject and find that these materials work best to reflect its fluid nature. I work quickly, as the tide is always turning, and I am excited when the painting suggests the experience of looking, slipping, and being washed away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-771x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-771x1024.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-768x1020.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-1156x1536.jpeg 1156w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-1542x2048.jpeg 1542w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Deep-Blue-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-scaled.jpeg 1927w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Elizabeth Awalt, <em>Deep Blue Pool<\/em>, ink on paper, 15 x 11 in., 2019. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-1024x752.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-1024x752.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-300x220.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-768x564.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-1536x1128.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Snail-Pool-11x1522-ink-on-paper-2019-2048x1505.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Elizabeth Awalt, <em>Snail Pool<\/em>, ink on paper, 15 x 11 in., 2019. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"761\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-761x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-761x1024.jpeg 761w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-223x300.jpeg 223w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-768x1034.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-1141x1536.jpeg 1141w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-1521x2048.jpeg 1521w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2021\/04\/Yellow-Pink-and-Aqua-Pool-15x1122-ink-on-paper-2019-scaled.jpeg 1901w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Elizabeth Awalt, <em>Yellow, Pink, and Aqua Pool<\/em>,  ink on paper, 15 x 11 in., 2019.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/home-summer-exhibition-2021\/\">RETURN TO GALLERY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist&#8217;s Statement Hidden under mounds of bladderwrack on the shore by my Swans Island house are tide pools containing miniature worlds of color, light, and sea life.
