Artist Statement
About
my work in general:
I think
that all creative endeavours are essentially autobiographical,
reflecting the greater curiosities and preoccupations, as well as the
small,
seemingly insignificant attributes of the individual. And, I find that
often
these small (and constant) signifiers are most revealing.
My
works shift in scale, medium, or principal concerns, but these
attributes trace throughout: a love of
open space, colour, tone and form; rhythm and relationship, movement,
transition,
sound, growth, subtlety and balance; notation, tracery and repetition.
I
describe these attributes as a corollary, a natural result of my early
years in Saskatchewan, my
former job as a
mapmaker, my memories of my seamstress mom, and my experience of music.
Developed
as abstract notations, my works "play" with these
attributes; and offer the space for some to recede, for some to come to
the
fore, but ultimately for all to remain constant.
-------------
About
the drawings:
As a
youth, I studied a few musical instruments: the piano, the clarinet
and the guitar. Many years later, I tried to reacquaint myself with the
guitar
and it soon proved to be too rigorous; I realized that I needed my
hands and
fingers for my studio work...sadly, taut wires were to be relegated to
my past.
Or so I thought. Not long after putting down my guitar, I began making
these
drawings. It was only after making several that I noticed a link to
music
notation. Then, I began clustering the lines in groups of five, like
the staff
or stave in western music notation. And, I began thinking of how
visual
art and music are often described in similar terms. We often speak of
tone and
balance, rhythm and counterpoint; colour and form.
While
no longer playing an instrument, I felt like I was still able to
make music, at least in this abstract manner. The drawings also relate
to my
interest in code: music notation is a picture of what sound looks like.
To make
the drawings, I used sumi ink from Japan and my
favourite
ink pens, left over from my days as a map maker.
