Lindsy Halleckson, Skywatching: I Believe in the Magic (Cuttyhunk, Civil Dusk Sept. 2025)
Acrylic on canvas, 40 x 36 in.
"Over the last few years, I have immersed myself in a multi-year painting and research project to examine the colors we perceive in the sky at dawn and dusk from different locations across the planet. I study how colors shift or remain consistent depending on variables of latitude, elevation, season, weather, and surface-level air quality. The paintings produced through this process are not illustrations of data, per se, but perceptual records."

Lindsy Halleckson, Leaf Portraits No. 1, 12, 13, 18, 22, 23
Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 10 inches each, may be sold individually
The Leaf Portrait paintings correspond to the unique signature of monoterpene gases that Ponderosa pine needles emitted during photosynthesis, as studied in 2020-21 by Dr. Mj Riches. I have chosen to create these works in a tall format to evoke the verticality of the pine forest, and how this thin height is replicated among the leaves. Bright undersides of each painting are in response to what another researcher said about some of the data gathered at the site: “The surprise is the understory.”
