Zac + I went to an art lecture at Rhodes College the other night. Here are some of the things I wrote down:
- What is it to see + sense the world?
- Matter + consciousness
- Lessons of landscape: body has relationship to shape, urgency, painting a response, a dance. Trains the imagination.
- Lessons of light + color from landscape.
- Finding truth through doubt, truth becomes the process.
- Layers of form: give + take
- Framing an absence, showing an absence- obliquely.
- Framework for viewer to fill in
- Pairing paintings as a conversation
- Became a mother + was influenced by watching daughter form language
- Color has amazing power: disarming, sensuous + affects the whole body
- Painting layers over time: refusal + erasure, boundary of painting: strata of process
- Negative capability: Doubt + Confusion= Playfulness
- Childhood + Child developing: stacking, linking, boundaries of inanimate + animate
- Process of construction- how paints + bodies are made
- Paint is dualistic: covers but also reveals
- The release + the control- going back + forth. Tight vs. Loose.
- Sees process as collaborating w/ materials + the body + giving up consciousness + control. Pure potential + strict limitation.
- Compositions are a process of trial + error, not preset ever
And a sketch I did:
I'm looking forward to seeing the show soon.
