Artist Statement for Jacqueline Howett
|
|
|
Jacqueline Howett, has continued to be an artist since kindergarten, scoring top marks continually throughout high school. First it was the human form, her love of trees, bridges, and scenic places which she sketched and painted along with detailed designs, then came her International dolls in collage. Realism continued throughout her early travels to Europe, in Paris and Athens, to eventually evolve into abstract. Her larger oil paneled abstract work was born in America, in 1989-92, which eventually evolved into the collage art works 1994/5 titled, Social Structure. These continued to evolve with new collage designs in 2000-2002 in 3D along with sculptures you see today using the same materials. Howett also embraced in the process all spheres of art from visual, installation and performance art, which she enjoyed spoofing around with on various topics, as THE GREEK VIRGIN WEDDING, a performance installation she exhibited in an old barn house in Biddeford, Maine in 1996, about the family front and the women’s evolving role. Among her many varied ideas she’s entertained phallic symbols, time and space and society. Howett has evolved through the whole spectrum of what artists can do, enjoying the space with no limits and boundaries, until one day limits and restraints came for her to question, distorting her image of the world of art meaningless, when she wanted to display a real cow with real cows dung into the family living room, to represent the hypocrisy within the family, but was forced to stop. In her analyzing these limits she returned to the past and that of her childhood to appreciate realism and the old masters to find meaning again in just sketching a tree. During this time she felt she had completed and attained a full life cycle with being an artist. Howett continues to enjoy creating, and is amazed at what she can still get from the same collage material as in her sculpture art of 2002.
Howett for most of her art life views herself as a self taught artist as well as an outsider. Her large oil panel art have been mentioned in various magazines such as Art cellar exchange, Manhattan Arts International Magazine, (Artist in the 90’s), and Art Now, International and New York Gallery Guide. Her collages have appeared at the Danthforth Gallery group exhibition, sold at various auctions and catalogued for AIDS AWARENESS in Portland, Maine and Worcester, Mass, The Saco Museum of art with a feature in the Herald Tribune. A lithograph print also stands in the permanent collection at the Oreno Print Museum, Oreno. Howett’s art is also in numerous private collections, with such collectors as Prince Bander Abdul Bin Sultan Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia. Her art and installation work can also be viewed on various art websites, and at her own sites where you can view a large part of her wares at JACQS WORLD: http://www.geocities.com/jacquelinehowett/ She also maintains, and sells the art work of various artist on the net, as well as promoting other artist in the Artist Spotlight, established since 2000, at her site ATLinkswith which she E-mails out at random. Howett has also been selling her more colorful new Limited Edition art card designs, since 2001, Cards by JACQ, at Gallery Seven on Exchange St, Portland. Howett, when not creating art, is a writer and poet. Her poetry can be purchased at stores.
Jacqueline Howett started painting these images in 1989, derived from a sketch that was transformed into 3’X3’ and 4’X 4’ oil panels. 6 blue panels became 12, and then she repeated this process in another four colors. Black and white, 9’X12” turquoise and yellow, 9’X 2’ red and gold 12’X16’ hen mixed up some of the panels into checkerboard affects. They were titled Metamorphosis. They had presented themselves to her like movement in music, to eventually brake down the panels to display in varied combinations. Eventually she built Metamorphosis in just two half panels, 6 x 9’ completing them in 1992, and then she attempted to build Metamorphosis on a gigantic scale with 6’X 6’ panels. But eventually everything was photographed and went into cold storage when in 1993 Howett was confined to smaller spaces and walls. Her turquoise and black panels were chosen to become lithographs, created at Penmor Lithographers in Lewiston, Maine. From the lithograph scraps left over, the microscopic repetition process started in 1994-95, and again in 2000-
