Ash: Playa at Summer Lake

Paris Myers

Hello Everyone!

Here is an artist statement for a piece that I recently had in a show "Black Carbon" at the Strand Gallery at Oregon State:



Ash: Playa at Summer Lake, OR (2019)

Acrylic on Arnhem


Ash: Playa at Summer Lake (2019), OR is inspired by the residual ash and reduced air quality from the summer, 2018, fires--both control and wild--in Central Oregon. Pyrocumulus clouds hugged The Playa’s infamous mountain horizon the day I arrived at Playa at Summer Lake for an Art and Science Residency. At Playa, my understanding of fire--both globally and specific to the Oregon High Desert--grew to encompass its various instigators, human and not. Fire is both necessary and destructive. Fire is both an apparatus and an unknown.
