Growing up by the sea in Guyana, South America, I often wondered what happened where water and sky meet at the horizon line, creating a sense of limitless distance. To this day, I remain intrigued by this enigmatic phenomenon and its resemblance to pictorial space. It is this fascination that has driven my visual inquiry and practice for more than forty years. During that time, I have physically deconstructed, altered, and reconstructed the picture plane, the frame, and the compositional elements within that frame to better understand and communicate the dynamic nature of pictorial space. I have grappled with the spatial significance of line, plane, volume, and color, placing the viewer within that pictorial space. Each new body of work has explored the limits of the eye by creating an art form that appears to have no fixed boundaries. - See more at: http://arcthemagazine.com/arc/2013/11/andrew-lyght/#sthash.sJsIYDzK.dpuf
