Press Release

"In this current body of work I am looking at the relationships between colors as they perform in sequences. To create my geometric wood assemblages, I go through a laborious process of painting sheets of plywood, cutting it into precise strips, tinting select strips with a colored pencil, then cutting the strips into smaller pieces still. These pieces become the components I use to build a painting, arranging them in systematic grids and patterns. The process of arranging modular color into rhythmic patterns enables me to deepen my understanding of subtle color relationships, and the satisfaction of creating harmonic compositions. As a visual thinker, this process is my way of organizing and responding to the complexities of perception and emotion. 

I find inspiration in my immediate surroundings, looking towards the colors of the sky during inclement weather, or architectural shapes in familiar buildings. I distill this visual information gleaned from my nearby world into abstract forms, re-presenting the familiar through the personal lens of my process.” - Will Sears
