About The Artwork

C. S. Lewis described the trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) as a “divine dance,” a relationship which each partner continually defers to the other. The twelve-paneled painting, “The Dance II,” is a tribute to this idea. Recognizing the mystery of the trinity as three distinct, co-equal persons of one substance, the painting series is marked by both similarity and difference, similarity through the uniform scale of the individual canvases, eac populated by a repetitious animated dancing form and difference in the varied color choices and subtleties of form and surface. Each painting is thus marked as both belonging to the set and as an individual unit. The life of the painting resides in sharp color contrasts, animated forms, and the manner that the animated forms push against the canvas edges.

Since retiring as a professor of art education from The Ohio State University in 2016, Sydney has returned to full-time artmaking. During her tenure as a professor, she researched and wrote extensively about the artmaking process, authoring the widely-read text, Teaching Meaning in Artmaking (2000), and, most recently, a work in process, Naming Play for Artmaking. These writings entertain strategies that inform her own artmaking practice, most particularly that of play as it involves chance, nonsense, and experimentation. Through this process, she draws together the disparate to bring forth new ways of thinking such as intertwining a playful aesthetic of oppositions with spiritual seriousness in her most recent work.
