Collaboration with Beverly Chan
Instructed by Neil Denari

The prompt of this project was to:
A. Examine the objectives of the traditional dyptich format and juxtaposition
B. Experiment with the importance of framing and position using the aesthetic of the slick, shiny tech age evoked by the aluminum frame.
Inspired by artists who worked with framing like Donald Judd and color field painters like Barnett Newman, we chose to construct our “painting” by boiling down to the simplest components of an image: color and contrast produced by light conditions of a space.

The hand poured resin panels created evidence of the hand within the cold metal frame. Intially, the pieces were displayed on the floor of the gallery, drawing the viewer closer to the piece. Alternately, they can arranged so the panels overlap and the contrasts of the dyptich dissolve.
