This Piece is titled Hilda which means battle. I chose this name because the shape of the image feels as if it's standing at attention, ready to fight any sort of battle. I often personify my pieces as I feel each material used has a history or past which then become woven into the final work. All my works are inspired by the materials around me. I feel an urgency to use the excess of materials that are already present in my home rather than buying things new. I often acquire materials ( scraps) from friends and family and never have a shortage of unique and challenging supplies. I'm interested in the collaboration between artist and material. I never consider or plan what a piece will look like but instead, watch as things shift and mature depending on the state or abilities of my materials.

Kathryn Knudsen Kathryn works and lives in Utah. She attended Utah State University in Logan, Utah, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She also earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Brigham Young University, where she taught in the Studio Arts program. About The Work "Kathryn's art utilizes a variety of traditional media, abstract forms, and found objects to produce an artistic vision that can heal, refashion, and beautify. The result--an unpredictable labyrinth of oil paint, canvas, fabric, thread, paper, beads, and other materials--is as luminous as it is provocative, a flash of the unconscious, a dream, a moment of deja vu. Picking up objects that might otherwise languish in scrap heaps, second-hand clothing stores, or boxes of discarded papers, fabrics, and memories, Kathryn's art reintegrates the power of transformed media with therapeutic promise of beauty and artistic experience. In these paintings, sculptures, and installations, the possibility of refashioning the world of discarded consumption becomes an artistic reality, something more than an aspiration, a wholly new experience in itself. To experience Kathryn's art is to realize that the very fabric of our culture and everyday lives can be recast and reclaimed, just as nature does in its endless march of life and desire. The oddness of the human figures, the opalescence of the textures, the quirkiness of the colors--all of these are the life blood of a culture revised. It is a vision in which nothing--no memories, no tradition, no promise--is beyond reclamation." -- John Williams, Professor of Humanities, Yale University
