Pae White on the Artistic Process

Artist Pae White offers insight into her artistic process, the evolution of her hanging pieces, and the unexpected and delightful surprises that occur only when works of art are finally installed. Commissioned to usher in the next 50 years of creative impact at SJMA, Pae White’s "Noisy Blushes" soars within the Museum’s thirty-foot high atrium and transforms its entrance into an experiential passageway, delivering a sublime experience for visitors. Approximately 14 x 14 x 11 feet and suspended above the viewer, Noisy Blushes is one of the artist’s largest hanging pieces and her most colorful completed to date. The sculpture comprises 68 colors and a design that fluctuates with the time of day, the seasons, and as the viewer changes their vantage point. This site-specific work is the most ambitious commission in SJMA’s history.

Commissioned by the San José Museum of Art, in honor of its 50th anniversary, and acquired with funds provided by the Lipman Family Foundation, the Acquisitions Committee, Diane Jonte-Pace and David Pace,  the Council of 100,  the Richard A. Karp Charitable Foundation, and Brook Hartzell and Tad Freese, with additional support provided by the Docent Council, Toby and Barry Fernald, Evelyn and Rick Neely, Yvonne and Mike Nevens, C. Christine Nichols, Dorene Masterman, and Shauna Mika and Richard Callison.
