SynopsisHow does a simple line become a horizon? When do we begin to see colors and shapes as a landscape? Michelle Jezierski' s painting homes in on the tipping point at which our perception begins to oscillate between color/surface and space/representation. At that very point, she captures the essence of the landscape as such, which is not a concrete place but a metaphor for inner states of affairs. To get there, Jezierski distills what she sees in her surroundings down to the elements of painting-- shapes and colors-- which just barely intimate a pictorial space while persistently drifting toward abstraction. The defining feature of her technique is that she layers several pictorial planes and spaces on the canvas in staggered arrangements. " Perpetually discovering new ways to unsettle the visual space," as she puts it, she engenders ruptures and structures that open up multiple perspectives and a portal for reflection on one' s own perception. Above all, however, the cuts lend her pictures a peculiar rhythm that powerfully pulls in the gaze, making the reader paging through this catalog forget time and space., How does a simple line become a horizon?
