Scratchpad

Trudy Benson's *Scratchpad* is a dynamic, layered composition that merges the digital and physical through a vibrant interplay of oil, acrylic, enamel, and spray paint on canvas. The work evokes the energetic gestures of a computer interface or drawing software, with bold marks, drips, and sweeping strokes that mimic the visual language of digital toolbars and cursor movements. Benson's multi-media approach creates a richly textured surface that celebrates the expressive potential found at the intersection of technology and traditional painting.
