Cecilia Vissers
ULTIMA THULE (THE FAR NORTH)
Exhibition 23 February - 31 March 2012
OPENING RECEPTION 23 February, 2012
SIX TO EIGHT IN THE EVENING
The experience fundamental to Cecilia Visser's works, is that of the hiker walking the narrow path on top of a mountain ridge, left and right of her the abyss of space, or along the cliffs of a rough coastal line with at one side the endless expanses above the ocean. From the landscapes she loves, she brings in the combination of matter and atmosphere: matter as in the sheer weight of her wall-sculptures, atmosphere as in their architecture. Every measure, every curve in her work is carefully considered and reconsidered, as repeated hikes through a specific landscape shed new light on it every time. It's in the nature of the landscape that it never repeats itself.
