When You Were the Sea
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.
I often think about being the sea when I swim in the ocean. I read that the human body contains 250 grams of salt. It's interesting to me that we need salt for nerve impulses and muscle contractions. I feel a very close relationship with the Pacific Ocean where I swim. - Sheri Paisley
