Artist's Statement
The sky is air which is colorless and appears to have no substance, yet we say it is blue and paint it into landscapes.
A blue sky always appears as a gradient of blues from light at the horizon to dark at the top. To be perceived as the sky, this gradient is typically viewed in relation to things outdoors.
My work explores these assumptions and the relationship between perception and reality.
In “Exposed” I examine the tenacity of this perception of sky by painting the gradient on paper, cut up and collaged onto a painted orange ground. The cut squares are pieces of an abstraction of the sky, interacting with the orange color behind them which appears to change hues.
It seems that our ideas of reality are imposed on our surroundings and define them…not the reverse. This realization is compelling and drives much of my art-making.
