Changes of Perceptions

Extend through sky, lengthen over what is land: the architectural strictures of New York City, of compression, binding, angles of geometrics.

I am a multi-media artist – I create outdoor, indoor painted installations, as well 3-D constructed paintings and collages. As USA-Local 829 member, I earned knowledge working, painting on theater and film sets in NYC. I live and work in New York City, with travels strewn and interwoven throughout, some to the far reaches of Asia: India, VietNam, China, and to the stretches of these United States. Having shown with galleries inclusive Five Myles in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY, and the Asian American Art Centre on the Bowery, New York’s Chinatown, then recently honored to expand the language to a New York City skyscraper, and Art Cake, Brooklyn, NY.

On installation art: Bring spacious opening and language- it gives the opportunity to change how we see New York. On the 22nd floor skyscraper terrace of 295 Madison Avenue, at 41st Street, occurred an art installation created by Columbia Fiero, poly-mesh of wide to fine weave, acrylic-painted, and strung with nylon cord. The dimensions of “Ether, Or”, 22 feet wide, facing East 41st St. on the north, and 33 feet long, to the east, Park Avenue, and Madison to the west: extended up 14 feet in depth: 22’W x 33’L x 14’D.

Spaces we are in, our connectedness to earth, conversation with eternity: to bring attention to the innate memory of all earth-beings’ connectedness to universe. Water and air and fire: the drought, the heat, the floods, the rising sea. The installation seeks to challenge our perception of space, to change its geometry and to challenge the rigidity, the hardness of the concrete surreal environment. Bring the circle into our conversation –with sweetness of brushstroke, the spiral, is the element of life. Is it thingness, the undefined, that is the essence of image? Water, fire, air: with the permutations of “Ether, Or”… hot yellow-red fluctuations to blue pale, to water and space that continues, reaching to sky. Long blue, rivers of blue, waters flow lines into skyscape.
