Blueprint
Acrylic on patterned fabric panel, 6x6x1.5”, 2019
About this work:
I created Blueprint in 2019 as part of my Eureka 2.0 series. Like VULCAN and Intergalactic Bottle Service, I created it on patterned fabric, which I adhered to panel using my archival “wet-stretching” method. Embracing the expressive potential of working on a small scale with a palette knife, I slowly built up the dynamic, red-violet field in this work using paints that I used in other works I was creating at the time, such as Midnight Duel, and then carefully constructed the white quadrilateral frame to have a subtle illusion of shifting in space, reflecting the shifting structural dimensionality in works such as ¡Fútbol! and La Vie de Sirène (this lead my partner, Caitlin Lissauer, to title this work “Blueprint”). A key aspect of my dimensional works is the way in which they activate the space around them, and this is true for this work as well: here, I painted the left and right sides of this work teal, and the top and bottom red, to engage the space through the colors they reflect onto the wall beside them. Framing the work with light, the halo of red and blue light surrounding it draws out this work’s complex undertones while also emphasizing an interplay between positive and negative space, as the brilliant white quadrilateral simultaneously cuts through and overlaps the painting underneath.

Original painting. Acrylic on linen panel, 6x6x1.5”, Eureka 2.0 series, 2019.
Blueprint was painted on patterned fabric which I adhered to a museum-quality art panel through my archival “wet-stretching” method. I used only professional-quality acrylic paints with excellent lightfastness ratings in the creation of this work, and varnished it to further ensure that it retains its color and vibrancy for centuries. This work is signed, titled, and dated on the back. This work is wired on the back as well and is ready for hanging. No framing is necessary, as the composition extends to the sides of the work and is integral to its presentation.
