Based upon two years of rigorous research, this body of work examines color, light, and form through the synthesis of organic and inorganic material into complex networks of visual information. Drawing from the minds and legacies left behind by Georgia O’keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler, Josef Albers, Hans Hoffman, and Wassily Kandinsky, Fields Infinity is a series of work that utilizes color as a language tool to charge and activate tension in space.
Throughout these systems, the white currant and stargazer lily are presented as recurring motifs for hope and resilience. The currant is known as a miraculously resilient flora, noted for being self fertile, disease resistant, drought tolerant, and able to withstand injury against exposure to temperatures as low as -40° Fahrenheit. Paired with the lily, which is recognized throughout many different cultures to be a symbol for rebirth and hope, they become symbols for joy and endurance amidst tragedy and impossibility. In addition to the stargazer lily and white currant, I include frog eggs, fruit, tissue paper, water, prisms, tinted mylar, plastics, and additional ephemera. I am compelled by the continuous fluctuations presented between systems of colors, lines, shapes, and the endless worlds formed through connecting these bridges.
