JAMEY GRIMES: ECLIPSE

The New Gallery (Austin Peay State University) / 601 College St. August 28, 2017 - September 21, 2017

Jamey Grimes

In Eclipse, multiple surfaces collide in a whirlpool of light and shadow. Colors change over time, dynamically shifting the viewer’s interpretation of depth and form. This environment is intended to be both stirring and serene. Eclipse contemplates the artist’s relationship to natural forces, both real and imagined.
