Closer...

I am getting there...I have never worked on a project for soooo long.  I've been piecing this installation together since August.  Although I started in a very different way I like where the journey is taking me.  What I have ended up with are these wall-like structures formed from plexiglas rectangles and thin and fragile sheets of poured plexi that look like webs, as well as fishing line dipped in dissolved plexi.  These elements form each wall and come together to look as if the walls are dissolving.  Its very drippy and ethereal/whimsical.  I love that I have eliminated color.  When I start my painting series this summer I think I will definitely begin with a more neutral/muted palette which is a huge break from past efforts that are intentionally gaudy and full of color.  I'm craving more subtlety, potent subtleties.  Like the patterns of light reflected off the structures I'm building.
