"Northern Lake Silent Watch"
Acrylic on Canvas
12" x 12"
Victoria’s most recent series reflects her ongoing love of the
interconnectedness of water, sky, land and air. The labyrinth offers a perfect
symbol for this relationship. The graphic painterly use of complimentary
and tonal lines against contrasting grounds is played out in labyrinth
patterns which tie together various geographical elements. The mind
attempts to make sense of these shifting markings. The viewer attempts to
make sense of the pattern and finds all manner of computer chips, tiles, and
ancient writing in the forms.
As well, she is fascinated by the shifting of colour hues when they are
played against each other within these shapes. The coloured ground beneath
plays tricks on the eye throughout the process making it a demanding and
fascinating undertaking.
