BLUE

This mixed media series was done for a specific show titled “Blue.”  These “hard edge” abstract works are linked to meditation, breath and oxygen. Blue pictorially, creates expansion as in a light blue sky or in contraction as used in shadows. While the properties of blue are straight forward, the emotional qualities associated with blue, are more complex. We often connect blue with depth as in the deep blue ocean, longing as with a blue moon, or with feelings such as sadness or depression. 

I thought of the air and breathing as I painted these images. The circles became bubbles of concentrated air and the triangles as piercing the flat off- kilter space. These images add a unique perspective on my meditation and breath work, as well as a study on color, shape and concept.
