LUMINANCE OF CHROMA
A look into vibrancy of form and color.
This is a new series of work started in 2009. Expect more to come soon.
Equiluminant colors have long been recognized by artists as being special because they can generate a sense of vibration, motion or sometimes an eerie quality. This strange quality arises because the What system can see something that the Where system cannot; with only What system activation in isolation we can identify a particular object, but its position and motion (or lack of motion) are undetermined.
An object that can be seen by both subdivisions of the visual system will be perceived accurately. It will appear to move correctly or appear stable and appropriately three-dimensional. But if the two subdivisions are not balanced in their response to an object, it may look peculiar
A form blurs into oblivion... A color flares from phosphorescence to piercing blindness - our eyes only perceive but a minute fraction of the visual spectrum. These images attempt to visualize something just outside our gaze, something void of Right Angles and Perpendiculars.
The rendering of visual information may be the most complex and energy-intensive task of the human brain. Seamless visual perception requires precise neural firing. When perception destabilizes the visual field falls apart; the most commonly reported form of visual destabilization is diplopia or double-vision.
The form blurs to Form the Angle of an Oblong.
