TERRANE

[LATE 1990s]

In Terrane, John Detweilier layers pigment, pressure, and material memory to unearth something quietly elemental. These mixed-media works evoke sediment, erosion, and the slow reveal of form shaped by time rather than intention. Detweilier trades precision for presence, allowing each piece to emerge through tactile intuition. What remains feels excavated rather than constructed—a visual record of surfaces touched, weathered, and witnessed.
