About the Edition

“In my earliest paintings, the imagery I used derived from floor plans of places I lived or worked in. During my residency at Surf Point, I was able to study the original architectural drawings and plans of the building which gave me various new shapes and angles I could work with. The forms in “Clerestory” come from a selection of diagrams and notations I gleaned from the blueprints. There is no actual nave in the Surf Point building, and my print does not represent any real part of the building; it is meant to be evocative or have a suggestion of place. Rather than looking at the floor plans, this time, my interest was in the particulars to be found in the elevations. It was interesting to go back to a way of working that I had not engaged with for quite a few years and approach it from a different angle.” -Don Voisine ’22
