New Places – Abstractions
Of A City
“In the beginning, a
variety of many-coloured images of a city: meeting points,
streets, people, blue skies, night and day. Capturing the pulse,
the movement, or the silence.
Sketching, cutting
paper, creating a map of sorts in my studio, micro and macro at
once as my perspective. Picking out colours,
choosing materials, thinking about my purpose, reflecting on meanings
and limitations. Giving each element
its shape, assigning it a size and its place, connecting it further to
circumscribe in to space, having it all transform into a necklace.
No up, no down,
playing around the neck, constantly finding new directions”
from here.
And here is a view of Karin's beautiful studio.
