Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

Light paints the air, the space. It enters the room, connecting the outside with the in. It takes on its own form. Forms and repetition of basic colored geometric forms manipulate their surroundings, they play with our perception. They become foreground. Background. Tension.

Carrie’s work examines our perception of light and density of interactions of color. Her work has been described as decorative, as design and as kitsch, descriptions she embraces. Her work questions the sanctity of pure, reduced beauty. As a product of consumerism, she often uses packaging material (cardboard boxes, inexpensive wood similar to material used to make transportation crates) to create her work. At times, she also uses appropriation of the minimalists, as readily as she also appropriates from the geometric, mass-produced world around her.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Carrie will be exploring the connections between cast light, the drawn line of light and planes of color. How does colored light change when used / seen directly compared to reflective light? What happens to the form that creates the frame for this light? How does that optical illusion change through color choice? Both painted works and light pieces will examine the connections of how our perception of light and color is that affected by a surface.
