Frame of Reference painting Series 2022
FRAMES OF REFERENCE
A painting series by Mark Sirdevan
What IS space?
* Consider a set of ideas that determine how something is approached,
perceived, understood, judged, used, rejected. A sifting frame of
reference that guides us.
* Does space separate us? Or connect us?
* Does it do both? Does it integrate and segregate at the same time?
* Space is both minuscule and vast. Personal and cosmic.
* The fundamental requirements for perception and consciousness are
light and space. Space is where living things, material things,
and ephemeral things, enter and exit being.
* Does space itself come and go?
* Does it have boundaries? Gaps?
* Is it a necessary interval as is the silence between notes in music
or the negative shapes or unpainted areas in paintings?
* What is the space of absence?
* Is the space in my heart the same as the space in your heart?
