Overlap and Interlace
Sheri Paisley's work explores the connection between internal and external landscapes, with a focus on breath, spirit, and wind. Through abstract and loosely rendered scenes, she examines the dynamic tension between form and formlessness, as well as the invisible forces that shape our experiences. For Paisley, painting is a way to engage more deeply with the world, using color, mark-making, and gesture to process life's complexities and connect with the flow of energy in nature.
In Walden, Thoreau writes, "Innumerable little streams overlap and interlace one another ..." I wanted to make an area beside one of these streams. That area is this painting. - Sheri Paisley
