Roxanne Bouche' Overton
Doorways, Ghosts and a Red Jacket
Wisps of people passing by reflect their presence in their altered reality. They join a series of doors and a red jacketed person who ends up as the focal point. Color often does that - especially when combined with a human figure. Vertical lines form a powerful pattern and give home to the reptition of doorways that is offset by the light they cast on the shadowed floor where more patterns emerge. Then come the array of horizonal lines that dance above the scene - a totally different type of structure casting its own patterns of dark and light. It is the light that ignites everything here and gives depth and a 3-D look. The slight arc of a curve adds more depth as well as serving as the anchor for the space.
