Friday Favorite: Heidi Whitman

8/19/2011

This Friday’s Feature artist is Heidi Whitman!

I am amazed by her Shadowland/Constructions in which she uses cast shadows as a medium in her art.

From her artist statement:

I'm interested in how experience is translated into thought, how memories are layered, and how dreams jumble reality. Cartography and abstraction are two languages used in my work. Computer networks, ancient ruins, floor plans, fortifications, and city grids coexist in a time- and space-compressed world.

Off the Grid: Ink, gouache, acrylic, paper, and cast shadows, 12½ x 16 x 2 inches, 2011

Without a Compass: Ink, gouache, acrylic, paper, and cast shadows, 45 x 50 x 3 inches, 2011

From Here to There: Ink, gouache, acrylic, paper, and cast shadows, 3 x 26½ x 2 inches, 2011

Time Flies: Ink, gouache, acrylic, paper, and cast shadows, 37 x 75 x 3 inches, 2011

TGIF!
