Ezra Dickinson Dance, Art, & Performance

Remembering Space

Drifting between streets and vacant lots, not far in our past is the ghost of a rainforest lush with wet green vegetation. Interacting with this regions change as it claims memories from around you is a constant effort to recall what was.

This mural was painted as a memorial, remembering time, effort and thought. As space transforms it must be recognised, appreciated and honored. One hundred hours was spent painting the floors and walls of this roughly 40.000 square foot warehouse. Using donated and salvaged acrylic paint totalling one hundred gallons. The walls are painted with 20 foot tall letters reading, MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN. The design on the floor consists of repeated abstract iconography and spatial geometry.

Updates

First painted in 2013 as a live painting performance installation for Velocity’s Fall-Kickoff, new additions to this mural in the box office entryway of Velocity dance Center are currently underway. The overall intent is to bring elements of the existing diagonal white lines on the facing of the building into the existing mural. Working with lines and abstracted personal iconography of the human face, color, shape and space are explored. Approximate dimensions 25′ x 15′ painted in acrylic and enamel.

Cardinal

This hangable work of art is raised off the wall by a 3” wooden frame that follows the outline of the work. Adhesive vinyl and acrylic block print make up the image. The title of Cardinal refers to the four cardinal directions. The image is an abstraction of the human face, a personal totem that is used as a vehicle for artistic learning through process and repetition over time.
