From the album: Year in Color
The installations are composed of small individual paintings, which are combined to form a grid. . The “2016 -2018 Year in Color” represents a departure from previous years with a change of structure: the grid form is opened up. The shape of the individual panels has moved from either a rectangle or square to circles, triangles, and squares. The year is organized by the Solstices and Equinoxes, an early form of de-marking time, rather than the Gregorian calendar of previous years. This is the fourth section of Seasons:, “Fall", which starts on September 22 and ends on December 22, 2019. The color for daytime is developed using the same process as previous years and night is rendered in a gray color rather than black or dark blue. I chose to change the color and value for night to decrease the demarcation between night and day and more closely reflect the light in the night sky.
