Rolling Triangles IV by Leigh Suggs has been an eye-catcher since day one at the gallery. We asked Leigh, the artist, to tell us a little bit about this piece we have absolutely fallen in love with.

“Referencing a dark landscape, with a dark sky. Rolling Triangles evokes a nightscape in the rolling mountains and hills where I grew up. It is also reminiscent of the edges of a skirt or fabric flowing in movement or a blanket in motion—in preparation to drape over something."

"The work evokes thoughts of comfort, protection, and familiarity but contradicted by pointy jarring jagged triangles that could never roll. The 'fabric' is composed of sharp triangles cut and removed from one sheet of large paper, starting at the bottom and created row by row based on the one before. Undulating triangles shift and change based on subtle movements formed by the one before it. Making flat look not flat. The possibility of impossibility.”

"The possibility of impossibility.”


I absolutely love this sentiment. The dissonance between the solace in the ripple of fabric and the disquieting, sharp, triangles is both moving and thought-provoking. I couldn't have said it better: the possibility of impossibility. There is a disconnect in their connection that really draws you into the piece and ignites your imagination.
