Bill Laing, "Looking Through," 2018
Opening Reception Saturday, November 17 from 2 to 5 pm.
Artist in Attendance.
This series of prints and constructions reflect on the experience of looking and looking through layers that combine to form complex images of nature. Interior space juxtaposes with exterior. Botanical patterns on lace are a veil through which the landscape appears. In the constructions, scale shifts into miniature: a branch cutting is an imagined tree against an etched detail of landscape while clear plexiglass becomes a reflective pool. These works ponder the question of how we see, imagine and respond to the natural world.
