With a background in biology Sunny Samuel’s work uses transparency and translucency as both medium and substrate to reflect on the ways that we remember time, light, and space. Circle/Object frames the landscape through its shape, but the circle does not contain the land; the transparent/translucent material allows us to see through, around, and into the work, activating both the viewer’s and artist’s lens as we look to the horizon. The work begins as a fixed vantage but invites us to wander tangible and intangible territories, dissolving borders external and internal, uniting landscape and memory, reminding us that the boulders and cacti we gaze upon become part of our collections and recollections, never simply framing our view but inhabiting our minds. Samuel is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA, received his MFA from the University of California Santa Barbara and has exhibited across the US.
