Artist Statement: RMSr.2-Spectrum plays with light and refraction akin to art objects produced by mid-century artists in California. The word "sunburn" depicted in culturally specific font type, is formalized through the use of color and geometric abstraction, which offers viewers an aesthetic experience that shifts throughout the room, and time of day. This work's dynamic qualities present a literal shift in perspective, allowing audiences to view it from a range of vantage points. A contemplative endeavour that builds awareness and empathy for one's environments and prevents us all from getting burned.
