Overview
Cody Hudson, Mostly Inanimate Subject Matter (New Age of Earth Still Life), 2022, acrylic on linen in artist frame, 40.75 x 40.75 x 1 in. (103.5 x 103.5 x 2.5 cm)
Mostly Inanimate Subject Matter (New Age of Earth Still Life), 2022, acrylic on linen in artist frame, 40.75 x 40.75 x 1 in. (103.5 x 103.5 x 2.5 cm)
Working within the parameters of a selection of melodic shapes and a dynamic fall-tone color palette, Hudson’s inspiration from the slippery nature of time takes unexpected turns. 

Blending concepts from drastically different modes of artistic creation, Hudson borrows the term “time stretch” from music production lingo, where it is used to refer to adjusting the speed or duration of an audio signal without affecting its pitch. Working from a cache of abstract shapes, Hudson adjusts scale and proportion, arranging them in different iterations that allow for a visual rhythm to form across works. Inconsistencies and unique moments between works create connections that stretch across two and three dimensional renderings.
