Artist Statement for Sandra Kennedy

I’m from the Isle of Lewis, the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. I was brought up here and have returned to make my art here.
For me landscapes create memories, and nature influences emotion.
Moods are the source of my themes - Pleasures from puddles, streams, moss cushions, luscious grass or dry grass at the end of summer. The related emotions feed my imagination. The memories in my paintings are often linked with a blissful childhood in the island.
Alongside enchantment, some works carry appreciation of nature as quirky and at times desolate.
Line, pattern and texture make up compositions; some are flat, like a map, other pieces create a space, into which the viewer is invited to enter.
Memories of being in a place -how I felt, where I was going, time of year and of day, weather and sounds - are the basis for my themes. I aim to describe feelings and notions about the places, which I feel linked to, isolating and exaggerating colours, limiting their number to produce definite mood.
Interplay between harmony and unruliness, as well as how I interpret landscape fascinates me. I sometimes attempt to challenge my idea of balance. Working on a slow and contemplative route I allow the processes of painting to teach me ways of seeing.
The sculpture pieces are also based around landscape, they are intended to interact with the environment. I am very interested in using materials for their associations with other things or events, as well as for their aesthetic values, for example feathers or peat.
