Gathering Light – Art and Commentary by Lynda Lowe

Taken as a whole, my work is meant to provide an opportunity for reflection, suggesting that no thought or thing presents itself as utterly passive or inert, but is charged with content and a sentient presence. We construct meaning from many different perceptual and intellectual fields involving reason, intuition, memory, senses, and spirit. In these paintings, a number of prompts are employed to interact with the viewer at varying distances. Curious, sometimes random information that measures, describes, and scientifically observes phenomena is juxtaposed with the quiet presence of a familiar object. This combination embodies something of the perceptual wholeness from which we make meaning out of any considered moment.

My imagery can be seen as an opportunity for contemplation amidst the chatter of surrounding data - as a reminder that the world is simultaneously cognizable, mysterious, and generous.
