Marlene Tait talks to Marin artists about light...

Monjett Graham - A mixed media painter-collagist gives us in "Condominum" blocks of white paint, pieces of string, negative windows, fragments of broken records, musical symbols that dance across the canvas reminiscent of Jackson Pollack. No figure is in sight, but the pulsating movement in the painting tells us there is life within. Graham is currently creating a series called "Music in America" but the influence of music is present in all of his work.Everywhere there is movement. No piece is static. Whatever the subject matter there is a sense of light and the dance. He credits his move from San Francisco to Marin 15 years ago with a lighter palette and a more pastel color in his work.
