Uttar 135 Encaustic on panel 36 x 36" 2003–2005 “With a palette influenced by Indian miniature painting and with a love of non-narrative, non-objective expression, Mattera delivers a world of beauty and order in which individual [elements]—with their spontaneous expressions of color, texture, drip, drop and slather—are valued. Uttar 135 is a statement of peace and a meditation on life’s wonders.” -—Roberta Fallon, from the Order(ed) catalog essay, “Beauty, Order and Individuality,” May 2006
