Third Space: Dream

I began painting these pieces to experiment with negative space, tape and parts within a whole. Beyond experimentation, these pieces had little other technical purpose and I was reminded at just how valuable experimentation and play is to daily practice of a craft. “Third Space” refers to the new place my head went to to connect with imagination again.

Experimentation and play make us better artists. I hope to make this a regular routine in my practidce however, I struggle with developing healthy habits. Which is why there is an additional purpose for the title “third Space.” It refers to imagery relating to windows. The divisions created by tape and the resulting negative space, appear similar to window panes; as if we are behind a delicate barrier looking in on the expanse of imagination.
