This past weekend (and beginning of the week, between teaching) I’ve been busy at work on a new wall painting at the Rule Gallery for the upcoming show, Natural Causes, that opens this Friday.  The new piece is titled Displace, and uses the same color pallette as Water Feature from Anderson Ranch, and is also based on an image of water moving.  This particular image was taken from a small stream in Snowmass Village that had a footpath following it, and, I believe, was somewhat directed through constructed boulder fields to create waterfalls.  I am interested in how this image is beginning to become more dynamic, and includes extreme switches between positive and negative space, so that the two are in constant flux, constantly displacing one another; just as the natural and the manmade elements of the image’s origins are displacing one another, arriving at some hybrid envrionment.  Please come see the fiished piece at the opening at 6pm at the Rule Gallery, or here in the next post for those out of town.
