"Copperwhite works not only with ideas of decision versus immediacy but with a fusion of layers, a sense in each part of the painting there was once something else there, that something has been left or covered or erased. She loves the volatile excitement of paint, the amount of expression you can get from tonality in colour; and then she loves channeling this excitement and that expression, covering it over, doing more work to it, adding, subtracting, layering.”
