Color Interaction VI is the latest iteration in an ongoing investigation of how color responds when it is asked to occupy three dimensional space.
Each work is printed with a cyan, magenta, or yellow gradient. Rather than mixing to produce a stable hue, the inks remain transparent. As they overlap with the colored paper stock beneath, they generate the illusion of additional colors and values that are not materially present. What appears to be a new color is an optical event, produced through accumulation and perception.
The works are pleated and trimmed to create a directional shift in color. This subtle movement is interrupted with each pleat, punctuating an otherwise continuous gradient into distinct color swatches.
Anchored by a glass bead, each fold becomes structural as well as optical. The surface alternates between peaks and valleys, absorbing and reflecting light. In these moments, each pleat functions as small lightwell, where color compresses and briefly destabilizes.
“Color Interaction VI” continues to explore color as an evolving phenomenon rather than a static material, asking how color changes when it is given depth.
