Absolute Acceptance explores a color vision that ceramic artist Landis Carey experienced in the summer of 2023, in which yellows gently fluctuated from deep ochre to sunshine to straw as pure white light pierced the color veils. The color experience brought the message of absolute acceptance and remains a place of meditation that the artist often taps into. Drawing upon the densest yellow of her color vision, which holds the strongest feelings of absolute acceptance, the artist presents this message while juxtaposing it with the earthiest, most grounding yellow she experienced. This collection is intended to envelop the viewer, drawing them into the simultaneous feelings of momentary contraction and enduring expansion that are felt at the point of acceptance.
