Triangle Space Perspective Connections
Remembering the shapes and space in the Sun Flame photos, while thinking about mutiple triangles related to perspective construction from walking the path at Wentworth Conservation Area. What is becoming clear is an interest in the optical trajectories, appearing while walking and observing the landscape. This geometry is in contradistinction to the emotional experience and excitement accompany this awareness.
Interaction of forces revealing unexpected geometries.

Would I have seen the formation of the leaves,

Sky Gesture sequence from 2013
Sky Gesture Sequence 09.09.2013 acrylic on canvas panels, 5 x 42 inches.
Originally exhibited in 2013 as part of Sky-Time Unbroken Continuities, Hope & Feathers Gallery, Amherst, Massachusetts.
An early precursor to the twenty foot long painting, Warm Wind 11.109.2016. The painterly success of this piece is calling me to work similarly at a larger scale. Trust in process and incident will be necessary to pull them off.
