About The Work
Gourlay thinks of her work as a meditation on color and form, a gradual yet progressive study leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, color, and line.
"The shapes and lines create my own vocabulary of abstract forms." Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines, and blocks of color. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make color in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived. Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements.
