This is not a library sponsored event.

Description

Abstract painting of leafless branches in the foreground with warm autumn colors and blurred buildings in the background.

Explore Eileen Mooney's three different bodies of work. Mooney will focus specifically on abstract landscapes and perhaps some still-life work that are complex spatial constructs. 

Artist Statement: 
For me, painting is an inevitable act, and it is fueled by the tensions of life. My perceptual work, which is on the left and right-hand walls, is more phenomenological: it is about the immediacy of presence, space, and capturing the sensory input of a moment. Tension in my perceptual work can be characterized by that feeling of working against a clock–as light changes over time, it is always a rush to figure out how to respond to the light, the weather, and the mood of the moment.
