“Free Flowing Fossils” (acrylic on canvas), by Tim McFarlane, in his show “Another Day, Another Way,’’ at the University of Maine’s Zillman Art Museum, Bangor, through Dec. 12.
He says:
‘‘My works emphasize multi-layered systems, color (chromatic and gray scale) and process. In my paintings, overlapping forms and fractured spaces alternately support, negate and influence each other, mirroring events in everyday life. Shifts in formal relationships between layers, marks, color, and space, subtle and overt, contribute to the overall visual narrative in my work. My paintings and works on paper feature open and opaque layers that incorporate various modes of mark making including: direct painting, drawing, image transfers, stenciling and collage. My process relies on a sense of interdependence and chance happenings, which allows for multiple meanings in my work that can be explored by the viewer.’’
