In this series color becomes a language for thinking about difference, identity, belonging, and human connection. It challenges the viewer to recognize that color has been given enormous power in society, even though love itself has no color. Geometric forms that appear simple and orderly, begin to suggest the complicated ways in which society organizes and categorizes people. The sub title “What Color Is Love?”challenges us to consider whether we can recognize differences without turning differences
into division. Concentric circles represent layers of identity. Broken patterns represent disruption, a grid for social systems, a line for boundary, a circle as community, while separate circular forms introduce a sense of distance, interruption and exclusion. Rather than illustrating race or identity literally, I use abstraction to invite the viewer to experience these questions through color, proportion, rhythm, and spatial relationships.
