20/20, 2020

Following on from Vis à vis (Fall Session 2018), my second session with the NYCI began with a loose conceptual framework - how we “see” abstract art.

 

Observing people at art exhibitions led me to think about how art is framed, what does the artist choose to show and what does the observer choose to see? The title 20/20 refers to clarity and sharpness of vision and I worked on creating images that reflect this: sometimes the dancers would frame the focal point and complement what was happening there, sometimes they would be the focal point. The tight construction of the piece was complemented by Jack Gulielmetti’s richly structured musical score.
