Exhibition Statement: Kristin Swenson-Lintault
My
process has been varied but I have always been inspired to create work that
deals with extracting the essence of some aspect of nature with an emphasis
on abstraction, color, surface and layering. This encaustic piece titled
“Root” has a direct connection to my studio location in the Pacific Northwest
where moss grows prolifically and I am heavily influenced by plant color and
texture.
|
“Root”
is part of an ongoing series titled “Inside Out” examining origins,
connections and lifelines. I use my interest in fiber/textiles and natural
forms to build a range of imagery derived from trees, bonsai, roots,
labyrinths, veins, umbilical cords, plant cells, knots, skeins, and sacred
ropes to suggest strength, vitality, continuum, nourishment, and ancestral
links.

New Directions Leading to a Future Installation
I love it when I get inspiration to do something completely different and I don't even know where its taking me....but I have to do it.....it opens up so many other ideas that would have been lost if I didn't stop to listen. This is just like a rough sketch of an installation piece I am playing with. I think I need to make hundreds of these.......

New Website Preview
Here is a little peek at my new website I have been working on. I still have lots to do but it is rewarding for me to document the process of doing the tech side of things as well. I have taught myself little by little and I look forward to getting this online this year and using it as an extension of my creative process. I see this project as another way to build and layer ideas using many years of images that are either in progress in my studio today, from various cameras or from slides taken years ago collecting dust. I always try and use things I already have in a new way and my intention is to create a website that represents my journey in all its forms.
