Artist Statement for Kathy Iwanowski
|
|
|
Being an artist and a nurse, I am interested in what it means to be human and what constitutes illness, health, and wholeness. In addition to being influenced by science, I am inspired by futurist and evolutionary theories, spirituality, mythology, nature, transpersonal psychology, and women’s studies. These disciplines inform my creative process and provide interesting insights into the end results. I am curious about the effects of change and loss on our bodies, minds, and spirits, how we transform and heal, and what the role of hope is in the process. So in my paintings, found object sculptures, music, and writing, I am constructing, deconstructing, recycling, and reconstructing information and materials in ways that encourage and open internal and external dialogues. I have just started exhibiting, “She is So Composed”, a grouping of works inspired and loosely related to studies I did of the twelfth century mystic, Hildegard de Bingen; American woman composer, Amy Beach; and performance artist, Laurie Anderson. I see the exhibit as a living organism. I am looking forward to allowing it to change with each showing; growing, reducing, altering, and evolving in time and space as I see myself doing. Through all these explorations, I am discovering openness and empty spaces, places of silence, rest, and even play, the holes in life that leave room for new prospect and potential. These concepts, I see having a global value not just a personal one.
Kathy Iwanowski, January 2009
