‘Arise and dissolve’

From Boston-based artist Ilona Anderson’s show ‘‘The Union of the Sun and the Moon,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, through Oct. 2.

The gallery says:

“Ilona Anderson’s animations for her show are full of the familiar, the distant, unknown, imagined, and everyday. Bright lyrical vignettes of animals and people dance before us in a metaphysical picture plane, spilling across the space into ever-building expanses. Every layer of each animation must be composed perfectly. As the creator she must see it second by second. Building the animations by changing one mark at a time to create a sense of movement is like adding one brick to a wall, one layer at a time. She weaves the images into both linear and non-linear spaces, forming spatial contradictions that emphasize the vastness of space and the immediacy of our experience. The impermanence of these expressions for Anderson shows how things arise and dissolve every day in the natural world around us. The artist loves the act of creativity, the discovery of what manifests from her imagination. Anderson states that ‘you must listen to the work and it will tell you where to go.”’
