“One feels the influence of nature in these otherwise completely abstract works…For Stickney-Gibson shadings of light and dark and juxtapositions of vivid against near monochromatic fields of black or white serve as staging grounds for the dramas of the heart and mind.” – Eleanor Heartney

Melinda Stickney-Gibson's paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations involve a diaristic, distinctly personal and often graphic approach incorportating small snippets of phrases from her own journals, fragments of writing by others, and simple evocative words such as "yes" "maybe" "no?" and "her". Her paintings employ a restricted palette of elemental colors whose surfaces are built up by gestural brushwork in subtle variations. Stickney-Gibson's sculptural work involves steel, glass, concrete and wire; resting on steel wall-mounted ledges or installed on the floor with an intense attention to the minute variations of detail all the while continuing the diaristic idea of personal mark-making and sense of place.
