Creating an experience that overwhelms with color, transcends the quotidian and encourages one to step outside the ego into a place of pure sensation
Message
The life of an artist is one of experimentation.
Nearly every summer I isolate myself for a couple of weeks by Lake Superior to spend time thinking, playing and experimenting. I had already been experimenting for sometime with gradients and optical color mixing, rather like the Impressionists, but with thread. That summer I started playing with bending the fabric as well, releasing yet more color from the prismatic thread!
Chromatic Wave is a three-dimensional wall work...a rainbow that sinuously moves across the wall, revealing new colors as the light changes through the day.
