A Colorful Arrival

Color defeats the very lifestyle I am desperately attempting to uphold. It overruns the little bit of control I have. It ruins my meager attempts to simplify, organize, and minimize. It utterly demolishes clarity. Yet, I crave its manic brilliance. I thirst for the happiness it induces, as evidenced by the emotional relief spring foliage gives from the bleak landscape of winter.Color has invoked a mutiny and I find myself subject to its will.

In “Vestiges”, each form utilizes the same amount of a singular material, while possessing subtle variations in diameter, length, and openings. The unique identity of each figure allows them to be addressed separately or in relation to one another. Paper, the traditional drawing surface, has taken the pencil’s role by transforming into the continuous line that composes the greater whole. “Vestiges” grew, loop by loop, yet they appear as delicate remnants, the remains of something that once occupied their spaces.
