"Progression Grid" - Allyce Wood

Allyce Wood's 3-panel installation was recently installed on the Gold Wall. The black and white, site-specific series acts as a mirror of the rapidly changing city. A collection of arranged abstracted lines and shapes which both reference and comment on the enveloping area.



From the artist: ‘Progression Grid’ is a graphic mural intended to explore the elements of change brought by development and the passing of time. In a reference to the city that surrounds it, abstracted images culminate to describe elements of expansion, inclusion, and evolution as brought by both cultural and natural efforts.



The three panels act as a triptych, and can be read sequentially from either direction or as a complete single image. Each panel is broken up into a grid of cells; each is painted with symbols and patterns that reference the new language of modern symbols (arrows, stone, leaves, architecture, folded fabric, etc.) Abstracted patterns describe the flow of time and the archaeological settling of material.
