About
Kathryn McDonnell
Visual Artist
Art I am constantly wrestling with the complex questions about the relationship between the rhythm of music and the visual and between the abstract and the figurative, between the spiritual and the role of the beleaguered artist in the world. A world that constantly changes and makes self-sustaining demands is contrary to the true essence of every individual. What are you looking for? What satisfies you? Art is treacherous and beautiful. It simultaneously carries the power to console all the while raising the longing and desire for the uniqueness of being human, the comfort of belonging, the heightened consciousness of wanting to become a person not defined by the gross needs of bodily and psychological habits. Tension. The world wants me to want something other than who I really am. Kathryn McDonnell |
