Aquamarine


New Works by Carla Goldberg

When I was a little kid I thought water came magically from the kitchen sink and collected in swimming pools. I was endlessly fascinated by the cool aqua colors and weird patterns of light dancing on the surface and just below, bouncing off the bottom of the pool walls. I've always been drawn to bodies of water and shimmering, moving light.

Aquamarine is a new mixed media series of paint, ink and resin on plexiglass that plays with the idea of light and shadow, frozen water and thawing, raining and dripping and hinting of summer's cool aqua ease. These are real and imagined, desert pool infused and Hudson River iced. They are a play of water surface, of deep shadow, of light dancing, of memories of reflection and time spent happily spacing out over water.
