Solstice
1998
78 x 48 in. (198.12 x 121.92 cm)
Susan Manchester (Los Angeles, California, 1942 - )
Momentum: An Experience in the Unexpected, October 2, 2014 - February 22, 2015, New Wing, Second Floor, North and Central Skylight Galleries, San José Museum of Art.
Momentum: An Experience in the Unexpected (2014-2015)
Manchester’s powerful piece is a reminder that stillness is too, a type of movement. Manchester primarily uses light as a vehicle for both structure and emotive effect in this work. The stationary figure, a former teaching colleague of hers, combines with the circular motion of the chair in a composition that can be seen as playful incongruity. The title Solstice refers to strong winter light, and a contemplative moment in time.
