A Series Of Silhouettes

The moment has finally come! My series is up on the wall after 50 plus days. It was such an amazing journey. I pushed my boundaries and learned my limits. Something that as an artist and being whom I am is HUGE! 

There were no freak outs, frustration or despair! And that most definitely happens in my world. I am very proud of these 50 6x6 panels and of myself. 

There were many times where I thought to myself "What am I doing?" And below is the inspiration that came from asking myself! They are all available for purchase $55 plus tax and can be shipped, if needed. 

I do hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

My Artist Statement:

A Series of Silhouettes

  

Silhouette by definition is an image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a singular color. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all.  I decided to take it a step further adding my own twist to what I think a silhouette is.

This series consists of my stories, concerts I have been too, images I have always wanted to create into mysteries, and some simply the trees I love. Being challenged by the 6x6 panel staring blank at me was fantastic. It made me really stop and think and not rush. Being able to express myself in these three mediums, photography, painting and collage was really the best part of this entire journey.  Photography is where I feel most comfortable, painting is where I feel most free and collage was where I found new inspiration.

Silhouettes for me create mystery, create a focal point, and create a mood; the shape stands stark against a backdrop of color or pattern and for me it starts to make a story.  A story that can be anything you imagine. I have always had a fascination with shadows, with dark and light, and the way light can hide behind objects. Darkness and shadows can still show detail, you just need to look closer in order to find.
