The Tar Paper series, named after the common material used as a base throughout, is a group of pictographic portraits of ancient and sacred deities and concepts. They range from goddesses of water, earth, air and fire to circadian rhythm and the earth seen as our first teacher. Ms. Underwood’s deep concern for human spirituality is evident not only in the subject matter, but the choice and handling of materials as well. Rich layers of paint, those water based and not, cloak surfaces smooth and textured alike. Used cloths still smelling of printer’s ink encase cryptic forms that tug at our collective unconscious. Brightly colored three dimensional lines eek out signs and symbols of long forgotten meaning.
