A linear definition of space imbued with a Zen—like spirit characterizes Paused Field, a mixed—media drawing by Norie Sato, who is recognized as one of the Northwest's leading video and public artists. Out of a white field inspired by the snow and phosphorescence emitted from television sets, the artist conjures a single horizontal band defined by subtle inflections of rainbow— colored pencil lines. Delicate touches of color edged along the bottom of the thick handmade paper invite close viewing.
