Mary Rousseaux
A mixed-media artist who lives in Detroit’s Indian Village neighborhood, Rousseaux’s paintings and works on paper are built up through layers of transparent materials embedded with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink and gold leaf.
Her work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place and is directly informed by the changing landscape of the city of Detroit. “There is constant movement in my work,” she says. “I push to explore the ideas of memory and how they weave together to create our reality.”
Rousseaux numbers rather than titles her paintings. “I don’t want to define your experience. It is personal for everybody”.
