SANDRA HARRIS, Sea to Sky
View through Artsy
The theme of the very first painting project I was assigned in college was: “doorways.” It was eye opening to witness everyone in the class interpret the theme very differently. What I wound up creating was a series of landscape paintings on canvases literally shaped like a door. My logic was that, for the viewer the scene I painted on the canvas felt like looking through a doorway into another space. This theme is something that I’ve been aware of ever since and carried forward with my work.
