Client: Collection of the City of Dallas

Overview

The central actor is color. My art unites an array of complex and unexpected
unions of color, where the physical, material, perceptual and psychological
effects of color interact. With each new work I research and integrate new
technologies that will change the optical color play, and how transparency,
reflectivity, luminosity, material and shape affect how we perceive color as a
window into our emotions. The physical experiential relationship with the
viewer is paramount.

Goals

Synchronicity Light Receptors takes its name from the word synchronicity, a concept of meaningful coincidence formed by the philosopher Carl Jung. Synchronistic events reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework, like a quilt. My art unites color, and is a metaphor that celebrates and honors our multicultural world.

Process

Sawyer worked closley with the developer, and landscape architects TBG. Cityplace – Dallas, TX | TBG | A TIF district, transit-oriented development and neighborhood in Dallas’ Uptown neighborhood, Cityplace is a popular urban enclave north of downtown Dallas.
