what’s here is everywhere (2003-04) is a group of paintings,
sculptures, site specific installations and drawings spawned by a digital
'maker image' from which multiple forms are sourced. The image
is constructed from maps, my photographs of various landscapes, flowers
and altered text from Gertrude Stein's The Making
of Americans.
Exhibited during 2003 at POST Gallery, Los Angeles, California and in
Topographies at the Walter and McBean Gallery, San Francisco
and the Pasadena Museum of California Art, Pasadena, what's
here is everywhere parses elements of a single-source image out, and splays
them all around in site–specific
installations.
The paintings were devised by telescoping
or zooming from a small corner detail of the original image to a complete
overview, in incremental progressions of scale calculated by the Fibonacci
method. These may be understood as degrees of zoom. These paintings in
turn became sources for a series of architectural models, formed in wood
relief. Installed on pedestals mounted on castors, the refracted
imagery was both mobile and static, creating a Steinian sense of multiple
possibilities; of clarity arrived at via confusion. |
