The work in this abstract series evolved over the last few years. Having worked on many still life works featuring native flowers, my focus was diverted to the detail within these flowers. During a time when I felt that my creativity was being restricted with local restrictions, I needed to find a new focus to inspire me; the dried flowers in my studio were fascinating in terms of their structure, the shapes within became my focus and the mark making emulates these shapes. When you focus on details you can easily get carried away and lost in this detail. This process is time consuming and somewhat obsessive, calming even. This took my attention away from the chaos around me. The ground and background are chaotic layers of paint, which in turn are masked and obscured by the mark making, hiding the reality below. This work is framed in a natural oak 2cm wide and is a perfect size to add to a collectors gallery wall. It is ready to hang.

Australia
Having lived in the UK, South Africa, and now in Australia, preserving elements of her life and experiences is paramount in her work. Compositionally diverse artist she often seeks to capture a symbolism in her work, drawing on her experiences living in these very different countries. Calling on the connection she has with South Africa and Australia, Karen Goddard’s abstracts and floral artworks are deeply influenced by the botanicals and environmental facets familiar to both. Her still life depictions encapsulate the innate shapes and exuberance of her organic subjects, while her mark making abstractions embody their unique and specific colourations. Previously living through times of national turmoil and transformation, her works persistently focus on the beauty of her natural surroundings, and deliver an emotive and meditative quality that arouses captivation and peace. Favouring an impressionistic creative approach, Karen alternates between oils and acrylics in order to produce diverse compositional elements, imagery and texturizations. She typically begins by depositing a ground colour onto the canvas, which habitually determines the ethos of the work. Layering the complimentary colours in stages, which are individually mixed through a meticulously process, each of the darker shades are typically set down first, while lighter colours are introduced later. A pattern of short and repetitive brushstrokes are utilised in the creation of her abstracts, which produces an overlay over the existing colour work, and instigates the qualities of movement and flow.
