Description |
This print depicts a collection of oval shapes doing circular motions in opposite directions, like magnets repelling each other. The background sets the motion of the oval rhythm, with highlights of blue and some white areas that guide the viewer's eye thru the oval shape, as if the eye is following the light at the end of a tunnel or coming from inside of the dark tunnel into the light. According to Artist David Row, "Artists make images from all different processes or ways of thinking, and for me, there's just a way that I allow myself to make drawings; to come up with images and then decide whether those images are interesting, whether or not I have a plan. But I think we all have our parameters. A plan usually messes things up for me. It's better if I just allow myself to play around with new images until I find ones that are more interesting than others. And I guess I'm more attracted to images that seem a little slippery, that are harder to pin down, whether it's spatially or in terms of content or symbology or whatever. The plan is to go in the studio and see what happens." |
