All 0of the works in this exhibition are black, white, or a combination of both. I am interested in these stripped-down formal parameters—the extremities of contrast of black and white as constraint. Without color to provide context, works implementing only monochromatic visual components rely on composition, technique, and subject to narrate. It's a self-imposed limitation that I find fascinating.
Conceptually, black and white as a dichotomous pair have age-old meaning—opposing forces, light and dark, good and evil, truth and falsehood, right and wrong, etc. YIN-YANG complicates this binary opposition by depicting these supposedly contradicting forces as inextricable and interdependent.
