GLIMMERS
Conceptually I'm working with the psychological idea of "glimmers." Glimmers are micro moments that emit positive and calming energy. They move us into a ventral vagal state of safety and connection. Glimmers are the opposite of sympathetic or dorsal states of response (triggers) according to Deb Dana, LCSW and Ruth Buczynski, PhD.
From an aesthetic standpoint I'm investigating monochromatic and analogous color schemes and their calming effects on mood. Repeated simple shapes create visual rhythms that disrupt what might be the beginnings of a pattern in a surprising and intriguing way. Imagery includes rainbows, lollipops and shiny stars, as research shows that these types of shapes, textures and images induce happiness in viewers (Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, Fetell Lee).
These oil paintings are made as an artist’s direct response to the pandemic and Bay Area lockdowns, in an attempt to provide a positive mindset for viewers. All works are executed in oil on linen and based on still life references including small beads, decoden, charms ...and of course sprinkles. Enjoy!
