SCATTER GATHER

Brian Boldon / new work

When I interact with the landscape, observational drawing and painting become a search for meaning. Scattering perception beyond concept is a practice that is experiential and limitless. I let in all that is available to me in the moment suspending what is before me in an ether of continual change. I work to express presence physically, what I observe and remember is rediscovered when I make art.

Geometry and light sensitive materials become an aesthetic and structural language for sharing my ideas. My sculpture feels like a woven landscape.  Color and form appear to be weightless. Energy flows as objects spring to life, fully formed. I imagine each piece as an intimate universe, bound together by positive attraction. Temporal moments are scattered and gathered, a tuning process of chroma, form and spatial frequencies. 

Multiple working methods are used to locate my drawing and painting in 3d space. 3d printed nylon/carbon fiber and recycled plastic from water bottles create structures for acrylic and oil painted wall reliefs. Free standing sculpture is assembled in porcelain, handbuilt, 3d printed and glazed. Making, mirrors my connection with landscape, autopoetic and discoverable in the moment.
