About Vera Vasek
Commentary by Lilly Wei:
Artist Vera Vasek left for the Florida Keys in 1988 with no idea what kind of art she could make or what she was going to do there. She was seduced by the life and the land--especialy the back country----with its shifting sands, its silences and sudden stillness, its endless expanses. Driven by the desire to convey her experience of the vast back country directly, she documents and salvages something that no longer exists in quite the same form. These tidal reliefs, as she calls them, have irregular edges, track marks, sea detritus, rippled, constellated patterns and gritty surfaces, negatives taken directly from nature, a strategy influenced by the writings and works of Robert Smithson, Robert Irwin, Agnes Martin, and by Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space.
