Melissa Kretschmer’s wall-mounted assemblages bridge painting and sculpture with their material sensitivity and iconic geometries. Kretschmer works with stark, evocative materials: glass, beeswax, graphite, wood and pigments. The native qualities of these materials – their color, texture, transparency, opacity –including incidental marks, stains and scratches–react through the layers of the works. As Kretschmer states, “What happens on the surface begins deep within.”
