"Blurring Bright"
8"x10" Framed Photographic Print
Limited Edition 1/10
This image illustrated the way our minds distort and exaggerate memory to highten our experiences and the stories we tell. The original image from "Brain Child," was full of neutral or subdued greys and blues. "Blurring Bright" is virtually identical in composition but colors are much brighter, almost luminous in places to make this piece more enticing and eye catching than the original.
As we tell stories of our past or a special event in our lives we often find ourselves filling in the gaps in our memory to complete the tale. The choice of colors here represents those changes to our memories where we make fading memories real, tangible and full of life again.
About the Artist:
At age 16, Roberta was taught by artist Ian Murphy at her local high school in Standish, England. He helped her realize her interest in the simple pleasure of mixing and blending colors of paint. It was in Dundee, Scotland years later, while at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, that she embraced the idea of combining different views within one composition. She used the computer to aid her sketching process of layering photographs and sketches of views, people, objects, and places. By re-creating these layers, rhythms of color and light were formed across the canvas, enhanced by the texture of various applications of paint.
Today her paintings represent the emotions evoked by the objects within her compositions. These emotions stem from the power of light (and therefore dark) and its control over her views, both externally and internally, of the life around her and how all our eyes and minds make sense of an object through light and color.
