This solo exhibition builds on my research into natural pigments and the observed world.
It features new paintings, video, and an animated wall-painting that will accumulate and grow over the course of the show. The suite of six paintings features detailed, ecological vignettes from our regional biome. Layered reflections that invite a maze of attention, they are slow paintings that flatten space through time.
The videos –in contrast– are fast. Only one-minute each, these experimental chroma-poems are fleeting glimpses of saturated color: foraged, animated and constructed. The exhibition also includes the experimental wallwork Field Notes, an animated sketchbook –arranged, drawn and projected directly on the gallery wall– that will change over time.
Together, this body of new work explores overlapping ideas of screening–as scientific filter, visual device and temporal recording. It reflects my on-going search for sustainable and regenerative methods of creating in the studio and in the wild.
