Reflection

          These three artists have heavily inspired me over the past few years within my artistic practice. Karine Leger is known for her many layered paintings, typically requiring a few months to complete. I've been following her on her journey for a while and her process is so beautiful, albeit time consuming. I'm inspired by her mark-making and use of colors becaus they're similar to mine. Tammy Kanat has also been one of my longtime inspirations. Her use of textiles and fiber has always been something I've looked up to, since I've been nervous to make the leap into fiber art. It's beautiful and I feel that I've been able to come out of my comfort zone more, especially with this weeks work (week 9). Last but not least, the woman and artist that has inspired me for the longest, Penny Evans. Her use of her culture as a springboard for inspiration is overwhelming. She constantly delves into the history of indigenous tribes in Australia, widening the understanding of those people throughout her country. She's since become more well-known, due to the fact that her work is organic in nature. The language that she creates through her work has always been a huge inspiration to me. All three of these wonderful and creative people have brought me to where I am today.

BFA Portfolio: Artist Statement Bullets

Delving deeper into the idea of language and layering  Visual storyteller  Being able to mimic soothing shapes and textures through painting and sculpture Bringing to life the relaxing property of softness and smooth lines/shape  Tribal qualities, reminiscent of knot making in ancient civilizations -- ( continuation of our history with textiles ) Playing with light to achieve a more dramatic quality, but moreso to enhance the details on the fabric/canvas  By using textured materials, easier to envision the slow process of time  The collective whole -- combining different materials together to be seen as one. Brining together all of the aspects of art that I find most pleasing in work Ambiguous shapes that are pleasing because of their unknown origin. Natural looking, also soothing to look at  The connection between humans and textiles from birth -- there is still a need for this today, for anyone. We sleep with sheets, we adorn ourselves with clo...
