- Lindsy Halleckson - Artist StatementWe live noisy lives. We imagine that we want peace and quiet, and we argue that we value our privacy. But we seldom deliberately seek out opportunities to enjoy quiet moments alone. We romanticize silence on one hand, but on the other feel that it is terrifying, dangerous to our mental health, and even possibly a threat to our liberty. In our noise- and action-obsessed culture, we believe that too much silence is depressive, escapist, selfish, or simply unproductive.
I love being out in nature and feeling that I am a part of it. But, being able to escape to quiet natural spaces is becoming more difficult. Natural places free from human noise and interruption are becoming extinct. Among the many relationships that define the human condition, an individual's connection to the environment is primary. In solitude and quiet, physiological sensations are heightened and senses of interconnection are intensified. Reconnection with the land is the key to peace within our selves and our environment. No matter how far our contemporary culture will go to destroy its connections to nature, it remains the all-pervasive structure that lies beneath scenery, landscape, place, and human history.
I convey nature's silence and peace in my paintings. Their quiet form and color speaks to natural, fulfilling calm. Like river, lake, sea, or canyon, these places are neither blank nor empty. Rather, the pieces' intricacies and subtleties come alive with quiet contemplation. Instead of representing abstracted images of the land, the pieces create a portrait of feelings I have experienced in connection with the land. The paintings reflect the quiet complexity that is happening out in the world.
