Michael Gaillard (Harmony Artist-In-Residence)

The work in this installment represents some more experimental work I did during my stay. I use the word experimental to signify their incompleteness rather than in relation to their relative novelty. I see the abstractions as drawings or sketches to be readdressed within my studio and repurposed within the context of their eventual exhibition space. I am interested in these images not only aesthetically, but also symbolically. I see multiple planes of agency intersecting to create the aesthetic captured within the piece—the patterning of the sand, the reflections in the water, the force of the ocean, my sculptural interventions, and finally, my framing—and in this overlapping I see rich potential for further experimentation within the studio.
