In the last two years, Carol Ladewig has been making large-scale painting installations that render an abstract concept (time and its measurement) visual and literal. In these smaller paintings on canvas, each of which represents a week, she translates a day's personal experiences and mood into a single color, and divides the passage into color and black according to the percentage of the moon that was in shadow on that date, thus creating an eloquent balance between the personal and universal, and between aesthetics and a conceptual practice.
