With its shades of blue and wavy shapes, Sojourner Truth Parsons painting blue goes away evokes a nocturnal marine landscape. Green, red and violet motifs suggest organic forms but present as abstract shapes. An orange moon in the upper left corner of the painting appears to illuminate the composition. The moon, omnipresent in the paintings of Sojourner Truth Parsons, is collaged onto the pitch-black background. The composition as a whole invokes a multitude of overlapping elements that form a layered surface that is dense, but at the same time bears a certain silhouetted flatness.
