Artist/writer Fiona Robinson writes about the "English Agnes Martin" – Rebecca Salter. Robinson writes that Salter's "labour intensive process retains that element of craftsmanship, which she acquired during her time in Japan at a formative stage in her career.
Her layering of marks, dashes, washes is worked on, removed, covered, building up residues of light, tone and line which fuse and meld into a quality of other-worldliness which is both ethereal and adamantine." “into the light of things”: Rebecca Salter, works 1981-2010 will be on view through May 1, 2011 at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT.
