An installation of 22 paintings,
acrylic on canvas, total size: 12x40'
The exhibition opened last Friday at the SDAI and will be on until July 18, 2010.
I am very happy to see the installation there. I could only work the arrangement of the 22 paintings on my computer. So the final installation was in fact the first real one at that scale. It was interesting to make many tries on Photoshop with the photos of the paintings I was working on and to change their position as if they were pieces of a puzzle.
The configuration changed a lot during the last 6 months, when I was working on it. I started mostly with paintings I've had already done. An then, as I was working on the ensemble, I added new paintings and removed other ones.
The thing which did not change were the three parallel rows and the black background. It was an interesting search to try different configurations to get the most interesting passages between colors and between the different scales I was using for the landscapes and the people.

The installation is incredible.
It is as though it has outreaching arms that are open for you to come in and be hugged.
There is no way to get this or the scale through pictures.
Congratulations and I hope many people take this opportunity to experience it.
I like the way you perceive the installation Lori!
