Major Issue Painting

Oil on copper, unframed The creative process of the ‘fire paintings’ consists of two inverse motions. The first one is gentle, precise and slow. It builds up layers of paint, geometric forms, reminiscent of buildings, homes and their surroundings with the soft paint brush. The second part of the process is impulsive, aggressive and forceful. The destruction of the created forms with sharp objects and fierce motions. It creates chaos and fire, on the other hand, it is committed to the mission of providing an escape route out of it. While interacting with the surface, a rhythm of surrender and control is created. The motions of engraving the lines represent the response of the human mind to its surroundings. It resembles a shamanic ceremony, an open state of mind where every action and every coincidence is considered symbolic. It is a process of discovering patterns which run across the layers of existence, as they show up in the process of creation, enabling curative corrections and adjustments that treat the artwork as a voodoo doll. These paintings are the artist's ways out of a symbolic burning home that refers to her childhood memories of a home that never felt safe.
