Just as the passage of time leaves records by means of patination, erosion, and deposition, Jinni Thomas constructs complex surfaces of enormous beauty by alternately applying mixed painting media and then removing areas, elements, and layers selectively and judiciously.

Additive and subtractive, her technique yields surfaces that appeal to high contemporary sensibilities by with tactile and visual effects that have aspects of the very ancient.
