Final art for the Blue of Distance Poster.
The Blue of Distance
March 24, 2012 Fort Worth, TX
Grackle Art Gallery presents The Blue of Distance. Curated by Melba Northum, The Blue of Distance is a multi-media show incorporating painting, drawing, assemblage pieces, photography, and sculpture by: Andy Anderson, Tammy Bond, Charles Coldewey, Terri Cummings, Loretta Gonzalez, Corey Gossett, Donna Harris, Elizabeth Holden, Marilyn Jolly, Leighton McWilliams, Melba Northum, Matt Sacks and Susan Sitzes. Music by Pasticcio.
The Blue of Distance is a poetic reference to a natural phenomenon in which distant objects take on the bluish-haze of the atmosphere, or what artists refer to as “atmospheric perspective.” But in a metaphysical sense, an allusion is made to memory, memories, and either the deliberate or unconscious process by which we manipulate our memories. Distance from our memories, time passing, places a veil-- the blue, between truth and perception. As author Harold Pinter puts it “The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend to remember.”
