Laura Stone: Curves, Lattice & Layers

1/2

When I was working from observation in the 80’s I became aware that all visual experience starts abstractly with lines, shapes and light or dark, the words like bird, bread or boat come later. You might say reality is abstraction at it’s purest.

Color is housed in a shape, the shape and the color have a relationship to one another. Shapes have a relationship to one another. There is a visual dynamic created as a shapes visually shifts its relationship with one and then another shape. Sometimes the dynamic is quiet other times it is stormy.

Setting up a new painting or drawing begins with random calligraphic gestural marks with the goal to discover what is behind them, or how my imagination fills in the blanks and bring that forward to be visible.

My environment is rich with movement: waves, grasses, dramatic weather, dramatic skies; and with color: garden flowers, orchids, sunrises, the lake and landscaped spaces. These appear in the work depending on what has caught my attention.
