“Capnomancie is defined as divination by means of smoke. TARA WALTERS has mastered a method for painting with, and interpreting the movement of, smoke as it rises from a flame. Like a divining rod in expert hands can locate water in the ground, Walters guides candles to harness and capture their ebony clouds onto her canvas. She allows the unpredictability of the flames to control the thickness and direction of the smoke. In this way, she reveals imagery within imagery and unveils a world in between worlds.” - Oz Arts Nashville
