Half-Light

About

Dec. 8 – Jan.12 -- Opening Reception Sunday, Dec. 8, 4:30-7pm
AV Ryan brings her video installation Half-Light to the Plus/Space. This work continues her investigations of the arc of the compass used to construct the cube. A negative shape from this geometry, a slender wing form, led the artist’s work from steel sculptures to wall reliefs to panel paintings. Half-Light continues these investigations. Light, space, movement and a wing-shaped piece of dichroic film instigate color happenings on the wall. The video is a record of these encounters at the vanishing edge of painting. At the same time, it brings light to the neighborhood during the dark times of the year.
