Although yellow zinc plating is an industrial process, Devin Farrand is excited by the resulting palette and its similarity to colors found in the landscape. Horizontal sandblasting on yellow zinc plated steel rests below a green, anodized aluminum field in Horizon (Meadow) (2023), recalling the changing weather and light over Idaho’s green valleys. With an abundance of wildlife and plants, and little human presence, these vast stretches of land inspire pause and contemplation, while the ethereal gestures of sandblasting echo the wispy ripples of a breeze through a field tall grass before a summer storm.
