Nicole Phungrasamee Fein "follows finely ground black materials like graphite, iron oxide, ink, and watercolor as they compose themselves into squares on white paper and paperboard into the visual equivalents of drizzles, sediment, pools, and fog. In a sense, they have weather. Metaphors of the mind (stormy, misty, unpredictable, disoriented), their weather are also literal acts of drawing. The artist calls them "water drawings." (Jeff Kelley, 2020)
In Fein's "water drawings," the vehicle - water - carries the pigment as it moves. The watercolor, no longer under the control of a brush, reveals the way water naturally behaves. Alluvial currents and splattered rain patterns are both inspiration and result. Fein deftly guides the process. The pigment settles in small puddles, and when the water evaporates, the pigment remains in patterns drawn by water.
