A painter who also worked with constructions and found objects, Snowden combined the formal issues of surface, texture, and geometric shape with personal history, emotion, and intuition. The death of both of her parents in 1987 led her to produce a series of assemblages, of which “Monument” is the last, dedicated to their memory. Covered with encaustic, a waxy medium that suggests age, these works are charged with personal symbolism that turns them into a “repository of memories.”
