Carol Forbes | Between the Lines

What might happen if we let our bodies guide our steps untethered from a predetermined path? What might we discover? In painting, Carol Forbes lets her intuition lead her. With a sense of adventure and trust, she mixes fields of colour with gestural marks. Each new mark opens up new possibilities. Spending time with each, she is guided by what feels right. Forbes observes, “There is a certain chaos as each work unfolds in the adding and subtracting of materials. As a work evolves, the process becomes a delicate integration of spontaneity and restraint.”
