I am motivated to paint by the miracle of colour; its beauty and the emotional hold it has on people. I want to fill the canvas with colours that, when placed next to one another, create an emotional response from the viewer. I want to fill the space with the music of colour and allow the viewer to respond to its song. I try to find the combination of colour, shape and texture that give expression to the spaces between. It is about the space created on the canvas but, more importantly, about the space between the artist and the viewer. My paintings are about reaching across that space and inviting the viewer into my world. Inviting others to see beauty and harmony in my work.--Jennifer Gimzewski
The "performance area" will be filled with a blob-like peninsula, and there is a fair amount of "thickening" to be done. Thickening is the "highly technical term" for going back over the structure and increasing the density, and decreasing the amount of free space in the tunnels and passageways. It really increases the sense of the installation as an imposition, blocking light, sound, and movement, as the structures grow, like a crystal. --Adam Rothstein
