Kim Etherington-Reid

STATEMENT:
Ultimately my work has been a response to the issues of global warming and environmental practices. Through opportunities of living abroad in countries ranging from Third-world to Developed status, I have witnessed varied attitudes, perceived impact and responsibility of stewardship, and global connectivity to the environment.

Considerations in my work lie within influential forces on nature and their impact within nature. The work plays on relationships and reactions through forms that evoke landscape elements, energies and forces.

The visual language found in this work has culminated from integrating traditional and non-traditional media and methods utilized in painting and printmaking. Translucency of the materials, subtle layers of line and color, juxtaposing texture, or modeled shapes in plaster, are my visual language.
