JULIE WOLFE Opposing Forces 2020 Opposing Forces asks questions without fixed answers. Wolfe reassembles the building blocks of geometry, mathematics, color theory and perception to probe us, provoke us, and propose that images can teach us about ourselves in ways that words cannot. How do we un-think color or form? What compels us, chaos or order? Are we innately drawn to one or the other and, if so, what does that say about us as we chart our experiences and reactions in the face of uncertainty? The pages in Opposing Forces originated in a second-hand book on Italian Renaissance painting. Each drawing is based on words taken out of the context of the page and translated into graphic visuals of our everyday experiences, events and activities. Alongside the drawings in this series are the confrontative Rorschach figures, challenging our imagination and perception. Each page is documented and stamped with the date that the drawing was conceived.
