Livingston has created four related but unique experiences of color, light, and space, bridging the gap between abstraction and representation. The source for all the paintings is the same—a 6’ x 6’ x 6’ grid of string she built in her studio.

The structure references the grid of modernism, the grid of architecture, the grid of linear perspective developed in the Renaissance, as well as the wire frame of contemporary 3-D computer illustration.

Each painting takes a specific point of view with a unique combination of warm and cool lights while playing with the tension between things falling apart and coming together. Livingston hopes “as people live with the work, they will find connections that deepen their experience of each part in relation to the whole.”
