After viewing Lindsay’s Bs work, I am reminded of natural phenomenas dominated by the idea of man made control ( similar to observable, natural events such as erosion, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes etc) The painting with the vibrant purple hues, I associated with natural auroras. But then, there is a geometric shape component that is controlled and designed with human qualities present as well. With the other work, fractals came to my mind, also ladder sculptures by Martin Puryear.
With both of Lindsay’s works, the repeated patterns both represented in shape and color present a minimalist feeling that also includes potential for expanding symmetry (The sculptures above are from Puryear’s his Minimal Exposition 2009, A year in Sphere). The idea Lindsay may include transparencies into these works pose interesting possibilities and also can contribute some three dimensional qualities!
I LOVE THESE! Martin Puryear is one of my favorite artists. I didn’t know about him until I had to a presentation on a list of artists during my undergrad. Ever since then I’ve been really into his work so it’s awesome that you saw a connection to what I posted!
