Winter 2015-2016 Painting

Winter 2016, Acrylic/Gouache on wood panels, (6" x 6"  -89), 1/2" square wood dowel, 73 x 106 x 2.5 Inches Since 2011, I have been making large-scale painting installations that render the abstract concept time and its measurement into visual and literal form through the medium of color and shape. 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. In this piece, there will be four sections: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall over two years. This is the first section, “Winter”: starts on December 21 2015 and ends on March 18, 2016 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.  The wood panels are connected with square dowels and allowing the flow of the days to follow a line, connecting one day to the next much as we experience the passage of time.
