About Me
- Diane Widler Wenzel
- The idea for COLOR BRIDGES came from many sources. Portland State College 1962,Professor Frederick Heidel's first painting assignment was to make a grid and explore mixing colors to arrange on the grid to see how they would look. Moving these painted pieces of paper on different backgrounds bring back 4 years of studying painting with Heidel. Each arrangement I have made are like his assignments. They have a goal of basics while allowing the emotions freedom. Another source was Professor Mary MacIntire at Western Washington University who was a member of Fiber Design and I had the honor of photographing for a statement about her process. She used to move around pieces of colored paper to design her fiber works.

By working on it at home, from memory without photos, I lost some of the movement, I lost in not being in the moment, I spent two days in frustration, and I gained a picture postcard. But most of all I know now what I need to pay attention to when I return. I have to take a higher point of view to expand the distance between reference points. I'll have more room to express the way I feel about the sloshyness of waters twisting and turning as they break and collide. But then next time the atmosphere will be different. I look forward to the experience of the moment.
