Landry is interested in the physical properties of painting and how through the manipulation of pattern, surface, color and illusion of light a painting can perform a mapping of reality. She uses geometrical abstraction as a system to manipulate the pictorial space and engage with the unstable subjectivity of perception. Inspired by the principles of Op Art she creates illusion of space by overlapping – sometimes with a random offset – layers of transparent paint. Her process does not involve any masking or cut outs. Instead she traces the geometrical pattern first with a colour pencil, which is later filled with paint free hand.
