From photographs I took of the sky while on a walk, I chose and isolated 60 shades of color present in the sky. “I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go. [...] ‘Longing,’ says the poet Robert Hass, ‘because desire is full of endless distances.’ Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.” (Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, p29-30.)
For seven weeks in the fall of 2021, I was one of eight artists participating in Jean Marie Casbarian’s art seminar entitled Wanderings, Musings and the Art of Getting Lost. The work shown here is work produced during the seminar.
