Beyond a stunning exploration of color, texture and dimension, Tracy Oliver’s work hints at elements that surround us on levels beyond our everyday awareness.
On a micro level, we share an atmospheric sea filled with dust made of skin and scales and dragonfly wings, all made iridescent by water molecules and light. On a macro level, to quote the poet Jean Tooner, we do not possess imagination, to sense what we are missing. Whether dealing with subjects like the aftermath of war, or rising sea levels in an era of unpredictable climate change, Oliver’s work remains a shimmering celebration of color, beauty and hope.
