IRIDESCENT DIMENSIONS/OPAQUE DIMENSIONS
Joanna Gabler & Marjorie Kaye
In Iridescent Dimensions, Joanna Gabler explores the shifting nature of perception through paintings that shimmer with luminous, rainbow-like color. The title comes from the word iridescent, derived from the Latin iris — rainbow — describing colors that change with light and perspective. As the viewer moves through the space, the paintings continuously transform, revealing new layers of color, depth, and emotion.
In Opaque Dimensions, Marjorie Kaye breaks down space as it emerges from the center, with a combination of organic and geometric sensibilities. It is done almost ritualistically, the patterns repeating themselves within patterns, different shapes emerging from similar dissections of the surface. One shape determines and inspires the next, and there is a balance between intense detail, and the different modalities of precision involved. The works are one continuous piece, accessible fractals. Details emerge from one basic pattern into a vast array of shapes. It is a net that comprises the structure of what is not necessarily perceived by the senses.
