"There is something mystical about Mason’s paintings. 'Often I’ll keep a painting around … until there’s one more twist to add,' she said in a recent interview. “It’s that extra twist, that extra thought, that extra dimension … that magical thing you can’t predict.” She follows her instincts—as she freely allows her pools of paint to slide around the canvas, tipping it side to side with her hands, capturing the otherworldly yet elemental quality, “that magical thing,” without quite knowing how."
