I guess I just got sick of looking at things. I think it’s the authoritarian relationship between me and the thing on display. I feel obligated to look at it, and then have an emotional response or an opinion or something.  And I’m not really comfortable with that anymore. So, the art in this exhibit is about breaking free of that dynamic. It’s not about what you’re looking at, but what you are perceiving in your peripheral vision. It’s about visual rhythm in an activated negative space. It’s about using time, light and chromaticity to open a visual gap between the subject and the object, and creating a portal. Walk through it like you own the place.
