Sabrina Piersol’s recent residency in the desert vistas of Pioneertown turned into an extended chapter in her exploration of the color blue. The hue has become a predominant aesthetic obsession despite its slipperiness. It is interesting that the quest for color occurs at a transitional time: the artist turned 30 as she finished the work for the exhibition, "Moon Bloom." At this juncture, Piersol finds herself bent on apprehending something fleeting. She and Didion attempt the same feat, to capture the ineffable that resides within the entirely phenomenological.
Last fall, prior to the desert residency, Piersol undertook a week-long silent meditation retreat in Colorado, when the foliage spread a yellow blanket over the entire landscape. With these combined image-memories burned into her mind, as a formal painter, Piersol let the relationship between rhythm, movement, and color take primacy.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through May 3.
