Karin Gudmundson

I live in two worlds that translate into two drastically different interpretations of art. One day my mind is calm and peaceful creating neutral simplistic patterns and lines that generate tranquil poetic surfaces. The next day complete chaos erupts into a dramatic colorful subconscious world wind created by means of omission, overlapping layers and small references to reality. I combine unrelated aspects that do not reference recognizable forms where the meanings shift and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted.
