  • “The world is full of resonance’s. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit.” (Wassily Kandinsky from Article ‘On the question of the form’)
  • Archetypes and symbols: the thread ‘tracks’ are a metaphor for transition between states of being, planes of paint, spirit and matter; forms of vessels, grids and planes echo containment within levels; colour resonates with symbology, emotion and memory.

About Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch

My creative art practice may be be succinctly summed up in the following fantastic metaphorical quote by Kandinsky:

“Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key then another to cause vibration of the soul.”

    Wow, I’d love to see this in the flesh (or fabric?)! Looks divine Kerryn.

  • Hey Vanessa you night owl hehe! Yes this one was prof.documented with a high end Dig., a smaller work and resolution comes up really well. Its the metallic paints (on paper) – they glow oh so nicely! My larger work Parallels was based from this image.
