Suspension 2

Margie Sheppard

To be translucent, light does not pass directly through a medium: it changes direction and is scattered as it passes through. It is neither opaque nor transparent – thus to be translucent means to glow subtly, to blush luminously.


These qualities are abundant in Margie’s layered abstractions that reveal surfaces hovering over more surfaces, densely coloured yet pulsing radiantly. It is a world into which the viewer can fall, absorbed by its depths. Her many years as a printmaker inform her decisions and powerful sense of colour structure.
