What does weather look like when it becomes an abstract experience?
In her series 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯, Landon Mackenzie uses layers of colour, texture and movements, capturing the changing nature of weather. But not everything in the paintings is completely controlled, and the paintings are exposed to an outdoor natural environment during summer. Chance, weather, and unexpected outcomes become part of the process, allowing materials, movements, and experimentation to shape what happens on the surface of the paintings.
The result is not a literal representation of weather, but an abstract experience of its energy, movement, and unpredictability.

ID: A photograph of The Gallery at Evergreen Arts. A woman with long ginger hair wearing a casual outfit sits on a grey cushion bench, facing away from the camera, looking at Weather Pattern #11 (Amoeba), a wide-ranged multicoloured dotted painting with prominent large symmetrical pink blobs of paint in a 4x4 grid, spread out across the painting, supported by wood and cement blocks underneath. To the left of the woman, hangs Weather Pattern #10 (Red Tide), another multicloured dotted painting with a brown undertoned edge that fades into a lighter centre, complimented by bright green dots scattered about. The gallery floor is grey and the walls are white.
