Through the Roof
by Tamara Thomsen

ARTIST STATEMENT

My series, Entwine, is composed of large-scale watercolor paintings on paper. Through the Roof is part of this series. The “roof” is a section of a 1920s latticework pavilion at the rose garden in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It focuses on architectural detail, similar to my approach to interiors in another series, Chambers. The shadows and highlights of the rafters are painted in fiery yellows and oranges. The blazing hot colors contrast with an eerily magenta sky on a hot and humid Brooklyn summer day.

My eyes are magnetically drawn to subjects like Georgian interiors at a 1760s mansion in Philadelphia or formal landscapes at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Besides a personal interest in American history and flower gardening, these places and spaces provide the panoply of design elements, patterns and compositions with which to play. My color palettes are imaginary (not realistic). The manipulated perspectives look slightly outside of the realm of the real world. Ultimately, my mind’s eye sees the destination for the content in my paintings as an abstraction.
