Project Statement

Mondays are green. Tuesdays are yellow. Fridays are always a deep shade of violet/black. Until recently, I believed everyone associated specific days of the week with color. In Architecture school, I studied the art of spatial relations, of making order from chaos, of coloring within perfectly and precisely drawn lines.

Whereas others worked in blacks and whites and shades of grey, my mind experienced space as color, shadow as hue, light as a sparkly interplay between the two. I never understood that others experienced anything other.

This project is a study and exploration into the color and joy of simple play. Curvilinear lines shapes and forms have no clear beginnings or ends. Colors speak to any and all of our sensual perceptions. I made this imagery in response to my need for letting go of the linear constraints that confined and defined, and as an explanation and response to my internal sensual perceptions.

Josef Albers spoke to the complexity of seeing color as it truly is. I like to believe that color is not simply seen, but experienced and imagined through all of our senses.
