OBSIDIAN
A Distillation of Form
Using the world's blackest, and whitest, acrylic paints, I create simple yet powerful improvisational images. I am inspired by the interplay between the paradoxes of black and white. Black being perceived as empty, while actually absorbing and containing color, and thus, vibrational information and wavelengths, this void is filled with an infinite amount of potential that is felt deeply by the viewer. White, reflecting all colors, frequencies, and energy, contains the full spectrum of visible color. Yet it is eerily empty, creating its own counter-void, despite all of these colors being reflected. Having all of it at once is tantamount to having none at all, with no delineations, just a blank slate. This visual play on emptiness and fullness invites the viewer to experience unlimited possibilities as the two ends of the spectrum dance and morph under the influence of the observer. The mind imposes its own order on the images and the depths of both extremes, bringing the textures and dimensions of the depth of each polar void, playful and expansive in the mind's eye, enhanced one by the other, without which there would be nothing.
Familiar to many through the Taoist image of the circular Ying Yang, this distillation of the physical visual spectrum likewise harkens to esoteric traditions of Zoroastrianism and the Buddhist Heart Sutra, which expands on the concept of Sunyata, Full Emptiness/Empty Fullness. This collection is a doorway onto the way we use contrast to construct the world we see, both visually and philosophically.
