ARTIST STATEMENT
For the Kuranda Arts Cooperative group art exhibition, Tablelands, Perimeters and Parameters, Tableland Regional Gallery, Atherton, Far North Queensland. Feb 5-28, 2010.
My work explores unique design elements and characteristics of various organic vegetation (plants, plant life, flora, foliage, undergrowth) growing on the Tableland. Imagery has been initiated and developed from referencing my own photographic material taken in this environment. Literally, perimeters and parameters are first set within the camera frame shoot then arranged within my chosen art forms where flexibility is provided in the arrangement of separate components into a coherent whole. Painting and grid-like surfaces from paper manipulation, arrangement processes along with assembly formations imply mapping territory, boundaries, multifaceted planes and a parallel dual realm of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional. It is where a diversity of observed unique characteristics of extracted essences such as colour and tone as well as organic and geometric shapes are reflected.
The works represent intimacy, relationships and a communion with nature's higher energy life force and verve.
Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch
How would I describe my work?
Spiritual/Abstract/Archetypal Expressionism. Using multiple/mixed mediums, connections, relationships & unity are explored through visual language elements, symbology, between one's inner-self (soul/spirit/life-force/essence), psyche & the outer world. Notions of passage, transition/change, duality, reflection, containment and synthesis/fusion are examples contemplated & reflected upon.
Who or what inspires me?
Although the human form and natural surroundings of tropical rainforest, mountains, beach and backyard have been and remain a constant and rich source for inspiration & materials to manipulate, I continue developing abstract visual imagery evolved from a sense of attachment with the thread, stitch, vessel and colour, exploring concepts and influences impacting on my senses, memory and perception.
