Sideways is a collection of minimalist abstract works that utilize amorphous shapes, semi-symmetric patterns, and bright, blazing colors to create a fragmented and unintelligible code. The pieces function like syllables or fragments of a language, invoking a sense of familiarity while simultaneously eluding any definitive meaning. When viewed together as a series or as part of a larger room-filling installation, the works coalesce into a larger linguistic landscape that seems to be waiting for interpretation.
The works in Sideways are meant to challenge viewers' preconceived notions of meaning and communication. By utilizing abstract forms and bold colors, the artist seeks to create a space where the viewer can engage in a dialogue with the works, drawing their own interpretations and meanings from the forms presented to them. The amorphous shapes and semi-symmetric patterns allow for a certain level of freedom and openness in interpretation, creating a space for the viewer to project their own experiences and emotions onto the work.
Through Sideways, the artist seeks to create a space that is both familiar and unfamiliar, where the viewer can engage with the works on a personal level. The use of color and form is meant to evoke emotion and create a visceral response in the viewer, encouraging them to explore their own emotional landscapes. Ultimately, the works in Sideways represent a call to action, a challenge to the viewer to engage with the art on a deeper level and to explore the power of communication and connection in the absence of language.
