ON EXHIBITION. Part of my solo show at Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton, California in Spring of 2024. Works on exhibition can only be purchased from the San Francisco Bay Area gallery for in-person pickup, not by shipping. For price and information, contact Sydney Tang. Sydney Tang Program Assistant, Harrington Gallery Curator City of Pleasanton P.O. Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 If not sold, available again online, with shipping costs altering the price, after May 1, 2024. Framed framed in a 2" deep white solid wood floater frame. This is the sixth and the largest of my ‘Twilight’ series of monochrome blue botanical paintings. The series was inspired by sunset walks in summer— those final minutes of light as the sky turns to a watery blue and all the tree branches turn into silhouettes. The translucent layers in this acrylic painting give it a soft glow. The darker blue undercoat was painted thinly and allowed to show through to become the shapes of the leaves. The paler blue twilight sky was scrubbed on in multiple sheer layers with bits of darkness showing through to create a glow.

The distant blue hills of my “Faraway Hills” series are ever-present fixtures in my real life. Down below is the bay and above is an endless web of tree branches. Their silhouettes have etched themselves into my memory. My paintings and prints are always nature-inspired and nearly always monochromatic. Having spent a decade as a printmaker making woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, aquatints and monotypes, my mind works in monochrome. I focus on a single color, composition, positive and negative space, pattern, lines and shape. I currently work in two mediums, acrylic painting and cyanotypes, a form of camera-less photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of lensless photography also known as photograms, blueprints and sun prints. They resemble block prints or etchings but use no ink nor printing press. Light “etches” the image on paper I had painted with light-sensitive chemicals. MY NEWEST SERIES OF ABSTRACT CYANOTYPES: My technique is a form of experimental photography, much like the action painters Morris Louis, who poured his veil paintings, or Jackson Pollock who dripped and drizzled his. My abstract cyanotypes are luminous like watercolor paintings but are actually photographs. Each is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph make through deliberate movements of the light-sensitive paper during exposure to light. Different sections of the paper were exposed to light for a longer or shorter time, yielding multiple shades of blue. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique. These same lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing. A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background.
