Artist Statement for Kathy Jones
|
|
|
I consider myself a colorist. The focus of my painting is the relationship of color and energy. Color is a universal language. Each viewer brings his or her own meaning to the colors in my paintings. With energy as my primary interest, I explore other areas that have energy as a focus. Yoga teaches of the seven sites of energy in the human body. Geometry has links to energy through the triangle and diagonal lines. Other universal shapes have ancient ties to energy - the mandala as a symbol of self, the spiral as a symbol of journey. Much of today's art reflects the dark and pessimistic nature of life in our world. I believe art can be a positive force, helping to raise the viewer to a higher emotional level by providing that positive energy as a focus.
I have recently been exploring stained glass because of the exciting color and light. I try to work the same as when I paint - not pre-planned but quite spontaneously. Just like when I
paint - I chose the color I will be working with and develop the window piece by piece.
My newest work consists of both paintings and stained glass. Both are about totems or guardians. The totem is a guardian spirit of place, of time and of people. My glass totems are human sized - 72 to 75 inches. They are in 4 sections and are connected by swivels so they moved with the air current. They can be hung inside or outside in a protected area. They can also hang from a nine foot tripod. Each totem has a corresponding Sentinel painting.
