The installation VIA explores the industrial and the personal, how these two worlds are simultaneously in tandem and opposition. The title “via” references its two definitions: a plated hole in a circuit board that allows information to pass from one layer of the board to another, and the preposition “by a route that touches or passes through; by way of.” Each sculpture examines a system of color–from video games to Martha Stewart’s color charts at Kmart to the afternoon sky. Western Sky/ The Sky Color of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle at 4 p.m., October 23-29th is based on phone interviews with residents in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle about the sky color at 4 p.m. every day for a week. In the Diptych Via/ Navajo White to Tusk Tusk, Moonlight Sonata to Blue Waltz, Delicate Yellow to Celandine, with Via/ Lee, Mom, Chris, Liz, Jessica and Lisa’s least favorite color, the New Hampshire sky color at 4 p.m. described by Mom over the phone, the color of my morning pee I create my own system for determining color, matching hardware store paint chips with my own version of those paint chips.
