Empty Spaces

Empty Spaces is composed of a collection of images exploring how light directly relates to the way separate spaces are seen. Each space contains a unique color palette as well as interesting formal qualities, such as the misperception of space and depth. I have furthered this observation by pairing each empty space with an image that mimics the color palette already represented.

A hexadecimal number titles each piece. The hex values are six-digit combinations of letters and numbers that represent three separate values, the red, blue, and green components of each image. By describing the work using hex values, each set of images is precisely named. With this knowledge in mind, audiences are able to interact with the work to later find the specific color they enjoyed most through referencing the hex value.

I have presented Empty Spaces as a series of diptychs as it is relevant to view the work in two parts. Diptychs allow the audience to observe different perspectives on the same subject. In this case, each subject predominantly shares color values. My wish is to remind others of a specific moment or space in their life through viewing my work. By combining photographs from different environments, one that is heavily spatial and one that contains natural substances or traces thereof, I hope to take a closer look into the details of these spaces.

Lindsey is most influenced by the potential of memories, specifically, how such memories shape one’s experience with their own unique take on the world. Her most current project Empty Spaces speaks to the power of theses senses. Much like an individual’s sense of smell, her interest in color and the ways that it speaks differently to all has assisted her over the past three years to build her series Empty Spaces.
