Everyday each person walks through their life and sees a wide range of colors in all their various tints & shades. And different environments can drastically change the amounts and varieties of colors seen. How do you see the world? Different people's eyes receive the world of color differently too. Some see lots of color while others see no color at all and the ranges in between.We have created an exhibit in which we have taken away the color (noise) and distraction that color can supply. We invite you to explore the art in this show with the absence of color. How do the objects and subjects look different? How does nature look different? The world of black, white and a wide array of grays can give off a different energy. What once looked subdued or serene might look eerie or unsettling. The images might even blend together in a way that details can be lost.What emotions do you experience in looking at the art in this exhibit? For this show, we ask the viewer to see the bones of each piece of art without distraction and see another perspective where contrast and nuance of gray makes a new look come to life.
