ARTIST STATEMENT
Heather Lamanno
Through paintings and concrete forms, I am exploring how the present might appear from a future vantage point. Within the paintings, abstracted architectural forms dwell in boldly colored landscapes and layered, hazy skylines. Structures emerge, cautiously seeping out of their environments, or drifting in aimless flight patterns. Whether engulfed in an emotionally charged atmosphere, or a quiet fog of ambiguity, these mysterious landscapes blur the boundaries of time and space. The installation of concrete towers and molded forms depicts the heaviness of historical infrastructure, patterned grids melting into mounds of disarray and uncertainty. My work depicts moments and spaces that appear as I gaze back from future fantasies of imminent joy, found just beyond the horizon.
