Anderson presents new paintings that explore movement, turbulence, and gesture, as well as how space folds and moves. “I’m interested in representing things that aren’t still, such as shifting light, air currents, sound waves, water, time.” She utilizes scraping and striping to alternate between negative and positive space. It alters perception and balance while revealing multiple spaces and new layers of information. “Each layer is a reaction or conversation with the previous layer, showing the history of revision, exploration and repetition in the painting. Striping bends space and vibrates the picture plane; there is constant folding and unfolding – a cross-section of layers where some planes are parallel, some intersect.”
