Perennial 2015 oil on canvas 30" x 24"
Like last week's "Provisional," there is a touch of irony in the title. Post-its are in some ways the least "perennial" studio objects - they are temporary by design, a colorful reminder that quickly outlives its usefulness. Yet, like the paint residue on the studio wall that only continues to accumulate, post-its are omnipresent.
Formally, I am enamored with the little colored squares - big surprise, considering my unwavering love for all things Albers. Conceptually, I am intrigued by the overlap between the temporary and the permanent, the fleetingly ephemeral and the reassuringly solid. They are reminders of things left unfinished and a hopeful meditation on the future unknown.
