Gathering Blue, Holding the Aqueous

This set of drawings and paintings is a means to explore building. The building is imbued with the qualities of elusive memories and images that have been rediscovered and reconsidered through making. The qualities are linked back to place, the place of a bath house and sailing club at Smith Mountain Lake. In seeking qualities, the work explores the relationship between flatness and depth, line and color, form and image, and therefore architecture and painting. The work draws out and gathers disparate blues and searches for those transient aspects of the world that can be rendered eternal.
