Jorden’s newest paintings gesture towards landscape, movement, and time. Neutral brown linen, reminiscent of the color of the sandy soil of Southern California, serves as a ground for layered washes, spills, and fades that recall atmospheric conditions. Particles of pigment disperse across this ground like the sediment in alluvial flows, leaving behind a textured history of movement. Through pouring oil washes over pools of acrylic paint, Jorden records her bodily relationship with the painting process. The paintings are indexical markers of what has been stretched, pulled, turned, and absorbed. Fluid and organic, the result is a reassembly of a dynamic landscape of shifting focus conveying the immediacy of granular detail and the vastness of geologic time.
