TEXTURED BLUE
​Thomas Prinz + Mike Nesbit, 2017
​Mixed Media
Paper, paint, digital prints, and thread

​
In an ongoing conversation between Thomas Prinz and Mike Nesbit, TEXTURED BLUE represents a series of collaborative work produced together in a one day studio session.  To both artists, blue has become a subject discussed in relationship to nature and the sublime within the context of the region’s high skies.  Blue brings to mind feelings of comfort, calmness, and at the same time unpredictability.  Texture is the subtle difference between the flatness of materials and the techniques of frottaging and collaging are used to reconstruct and deconstruct the subtle textures often overlooked into objects that playfully work between order and chaos.
