On the Wall: The Sky is Falling

- Harriet Livathinos
Utilizing graphite and ink on Mylar, Harriet Livathinos creates an installation entitled The Sky is Falling for the exhibition On the Wall. Livathinos explores air, density, and depth with mark making; keeping in mind how various line weights, hues, transparent overlays and interlacing of shapes can transmit feeling and raw energy to make an expressive composition. The atmospheric quality of her work is amplified and informed by the use of ink on a translucent field. The medium flows, fluctuates in opacity, and provides an intuitive vocabulary rich in emotional and dramatic potential for speaking from the subconscious. Livathinos states,” Abstraction is my way of dealing with these turbulent times, and the theme running through my mind as I think about this project is The Sky is Falling”.
