Melissa Burgess: Preserving Time and Space
It seems more akin to alchemy than to the hard science of chemistry. And it’s not just about the different elements that make up the compounds used in these acts of creations. There’s something that happens to a birch wood panel when colored oils are smeared and dappled across its surface, restructuring, in two dimensions, a singular image scooped from the world. In essence, this preserves that slender slice of spacetime in perpetuity, outlasting even its creator. These paintings fairly glow with a gently pulsing light that seems to radiate from beneath the thin layers of oil. But there is no hidden beacon there. It’s inexplicable. This is the magic of the paintings by Melissa Burgess.
