Lindsy Halleckson

As an artist working in the tradition of minimalism, my work evokes multi-sensory experiences heightened in solitude, creating spaces that are quiet but also rich with emotion and memory. I think about the edges and boundaries that we create for ourselves. Most of us have psychological separations in the social and political realms of our lives, but we also create barriers between ourselves and global ecology.

When we think about the sky, we may think about it as a layer of the Earth way above our heads. But are there any real barriers between us and the sky? What we call the sky reaches right down to the ground that we stand on. We are actually breathing sky. The sky’s molecules fill our lungs and populate each of the cells in our bodies. We are sky.

I am always looking up. So, although my paintings are not specific representations of place, they reference sky and weather.

I build up color on wet canvas brushing small amounts of acrylic paint with thinning agents, matte, and other acrylic media. The resulting richness, subtlety, and depth of color push the limitations of acrylic media.
