Description
Having recently returned from an extended voyage to India, Patter Hellstrom shares her visual and spiritual inspiration for a new body of work showcased in this exhibition. The complexity and fluidity of the many peoples, ideas, histories, religions, and personal narratives encountered on her journey find allegorical expression in paintings such as Travel Log (cover image); an impenetrable yet absorptive column of swirling liquid blues and murky black, marked by faint yellow paths and strains of vermillion passages and points. Tradition and ephemerality scream and fade through works such as Sindoor, with fiery blots of red and orange bleeding vapors of yellow and sky blue streams to the edges of the sheet. The enigmatic steps and arcs that comprise India lures viewers to linger on each pool, spray, speckle, and rivulet of color, encouraging them to construct their own stories and imaginary maps.This exhibition will be on view and open to the public from Oct. 23 - Nov. 13, 2008.
