Total reflectivity (I think) was his deal. <BR/><BR/>Dude. What would I do without art:21?<BR/><BR/>But I'm more on a Spencer Finch kick than anything. He does a lot with memory and perception as well as light.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556225329170645310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-88304818012238517552008-03-09T04:05:00.000-01:002008-03-09T04:05:00.000-01:00You might be interested to check out James Turrell...You might be interested to check out James Turrell's work (if you already haven't) then: http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/turrell/index.html.

It's such an amazing thing; we aren't even all that sure about its nature, but it helps us get through every day, is responsible in part for our existence, how we understand the world...Every time I think of light beyond the visual spectrum I get into a nerdy little tailspin.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556225329170645310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-75281089465808024982008-03-08T05:05:00.000-01:002008-03-08T05:05:00.000-01:00Interesting observation about light...it's sort of...Interesting observation about light...it's sort of an elegant leitmotif through which to consider his works...madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266536823444637061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-89581536163432640402008-03-07T20:57:00.000-01:002008-03-07T20:57:00.000-01:00I had wondered when this was coming.

It's too bad you missed Barry Wilson's show.<BR/><BR/>What I noticed about Mark Creegan's work was an underlying fascination with light (although the shark's teeth/foil piece, and perhaps the hair nets, were kind of red herrings in this case). The toothpaste seemed to be like a diagram of a light source, with red, green, and blue toothpaste representing light's primary colors. The recolorized (wow. Is that a word?) photographs of rainbows, a water and light phenomenon, was playfully revealing the color in a "black and white" photograph. I liked that he had the bubble mountain in conversation with this piece, but my mind is still tightly wrapped around those hair nets. But all in all, I really liked Creegan's works.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556225329170645310noreply@blogger.com
