Paper Light Redux (2014-16)
Depicting one of the most basic geometric shapes, the Paper Light Series features orbs within a dark firmament, each photogram differentiated by solarized spots of gold or flashes of white. Created from indeterminate materials, these spherical forms define their blackened environment, an ecosystem riddled with atmospheric interruptions. Some are seemingly illuminated from within, as if one has placed the photograph over a flashlight, allowing the light to shine through and reveal the fibers of paper. Others show circles that have been eclipsed and occluded by layers of chemical interactions, like distant celestial bodies or the light visible on the retina after closing one's eyes. Contrasting effects of ethereal weightlessness, scabbed textures, mass, and density create the impression that the forms are in a constant state of developing and dissolving. |
