Ingrid Williams, Repose 2, 2017, Casein and egg white, 12 x 14 x .02 in
Ingrid Williams has worked with casein paint for more than fifty years, exploring the medium's ability to merge abstraction and representation through gesture and material behavior. Beginning in Coupeville, she painted local scenes on furniture and wooden boxes, allowing the grain of the wood to become part of the composition. Because casein requires a rigid surface, the interaction between paint and substrate became central to her process.
Later, while working in the Skagit Valley, Williams developed poured painting techniques in which textures resembling water, clouds, sand, and hillsides emerged organically through the movement of the medium itself. Her approach emphasizes simplicity of gesture and the capacity of material to evoke natural forms without direct depiction.
Subsequent work created in Sekiu further explored these possibilities, particularly the luminous qualities of sand-like surfaces. Her recent paintings focus on the expressive depth and tonal range of ivory black pigment, continuing her investigation into abstraction, landscape, and the physical nature of paint.
