ARRESTED FLUX by Alaina Sullivan

Spending summers at a lake in western New York gave Alaina Sullivan an affinity for water. Her youth was filled with "aimless floating, vigorous swimming, and paddling."

Although Alaina's now a young New Yorker, far from summer lakes, she keeps that fascination with the water alive in her paintings. Many of her pieces start as photographs of the ever-changing reflections hidden under docks or created in the shadow of boats. Reflected in water, rigid posts and masts melt into dancing squiggles, hulls become amorphous shapes, flags and sails are skewed beyond immediate recognition. Her work gives us a glimpse of the physical world through a liquid lens.
