Artist Statement
About six months after the traumatic death of my husband, I began using eulogy as a means of expression. Seeking to express myself in a more honest and minimalist structure I became influenced by Lee Krasner’s link to the Surrealist method of automatism. Like her, I am striving to connect with my work in a less formalistic manner and open to emotion. I’m thinking about how my marks can become un-aimed within a proposed shape or form. Trying to let my hand and brain release itself honestly and subconsciously to relax into the work – I want the pattern to reveal itself with automatism and repetition. Flow is an outgrowth – from the tumbling of the works produced after my husband’s death to the paring down of my method in preparation for larger works I’ve been formulating in my mind. By simply using pencil on paper, I have freedom to reveal deep meaning in a minimalist format that has resonated with my grieving state.
I see Flow as many life’s endeavors. The need to constantly strive on and yet the ripple a path of what one does is felt in small ways along the journey.
