Artist: Marcy Parks | Location: Bristol, TN
Bristol, TN
My name is Marcy Parks and I am an expressionist artist creating large-scale abstract works in my hometown of Bristol, TN. My works are often a glimpse into the intimate spaces of my own body and psyche - turning them inside out and bringing them into the light to study the histories, stories, memories, trauma, and, of course, all the emotions tangled and knotted within. Through an intuitive process using expressive marks, gestural lines, abstract form, and raw emotion, I mark a moment in time that allows for an honest, intimate, and vulnerable examination of the history that has shaped me and my subconscious leading to the present. Each painting is a reckoning with parts of my body and mind that have remained hidden - a way to see those parts of myself, know them, and befriend them, so that I may, for a moment, witness the multitudes that are contained within me, but also, within everyone.
