Canyon Abstraction Nora Koerber

“Abstract realism” may well describe this scene. It is of a canyon wall that drops to a dry wash. Morning light lit the floor of the canyon, causing an abrupt and fascinating darkness against the wall. Consequent “lost edges” inspired me to abstract some areas, calling witness to the artist’s hand, which is, in fact, a trail of nature itself. There is enough representational information to anchor the viewer, while luring them into interpretive areas which they may complete themselves.
