16 Nicholson Street Gallery and Arts Collective

2017

Plein Soleil is an intimate, yellow universe of manipulated and repurposed garbage, accumulations of light, and collections of shadows that originiated in my Glasgow art studio over the course of seven months, but lives on as a traveling, ephemeral state of mind. Under continuous construction and forever evolving, Plein Soleil is a culmination of assembled objects, time, gestures, and residues, an ephemeral world built to one’s own measure. It is a space that strangely obscures the conventional delineations between real and artificial, organic and manipulated, new and discarded.

Plein Soleil — 16 Nicholson Street takes inspiration from Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s short story, The Yellow Wallpaper. Embracing the color yellow within a domestic interior, it transforms the gallery space into a garden, complete with a waterfall, hanging vines, trees, rocks, flower beds, and a sitting bench.
