Carrie Patterson's paintings and collages investigate the tension between the memory of architectural spaces and the space of painterly process. Her work questions whether the physicality of a painting or collage can be representative of space without illusion. Influenced by architecture where light plays on structure and material, her recent work experiments with boxes that house reflective objects such as prisms. Patterson videotapes the prisms' reflections, edits and loops the footage, and projects the video on her studio wall as subject matter for painting. Patterson works on many canvases at once, altering the arrangement of line, shape and color in subtle degrees, much like a choreographer would alter a repetitive action across a stage.
