Mimi Oritsky
The primary focus of my work has been the particular quality of airspace and how it can be translated into paint. While drawing the elements from above, I am aware of the loss of level and the right angle. I use these losses to explore space, scale and time. While moving away from the aerial sense of perspective, I remain above the view, watching the air contain itself within the pre-defined parameters of space. In this sense, I come completely to terms with my environment to create a space structured by light and a surface marked by the rhythm of the moving air.
