Sifaka Experiment

SIFAKA EXPERIMENT

The Sifaka Series begins with a realistic image of the Decken’s Sifaka. Each subsequent piece evolves, holding the subject constant. Influenced by my experience as a researcher, I bring my interest in the relationship between cause and effect (tangible and intangible) to my work. My experiments are building blocks of my journey of progression. Through this series, I share my journey and hope the viewers find inspiration to find their own path.

HOW TO PURCHASE. If you are interested in purchasing any art, please use the contact page. Selected works are displayed for sale at the Creators Space in St.Paul, MN.

Sifaka See

The journey begins with what we see.

Sifaka Magenta

The deconstruction begins with magenta. On the color wheels of the RGB (additive) and the CMY (subtractive), magenta is located exactly midway between red and blue.

Sifaka Cyan

The deconstruction continues with cyan. On the subtractive color wheel of CMY, cyan is located midway between green and blue.

Sifaka Mono

Black being a color that lacks hue and brightness and absorbs light, often used to represent darkness. When used with white, a sense of balance is produced (Yin and Yang).

Sifaka Shadow

The details of Mono fade away and we are left with a shadow or an outline.

Sifaka Lady

Constructed entirely with torn paper, the lady is reconstructed with broken pieces on a manufactured and structured background.

Sifaka Gentleman

The gentleman was constructed with paper and acrylic. Like the lady, he exists in a manufactured environment. He is most comfortable there because that is the only environment he knows.

Sifaka Veil

The eyes are gateways to the soul. Even though the human eye can only see 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum, a little crack on the veil is sufficient to reach the soul through the eyes.

Sifaka Veil 2

The Veil that covers 99.65% of the electromagnetic spectrum flickers and occasionally produces a crack for access to information normally hidden.

Sifaka Pix

A pixel is the smallest controllable element of a picture represented on a digital screen. The pixels in the background have 5 metallic colors. We see Pix clearly because he is made up of more than just the 5 background colors.
