REINVENTION

Transform. Redesign. Modify.

Noun. The action or process through which something has changed so much, that is appears to be entirely new.

This process of destroying collections of artwork is not something new to the artist. It has become an integral part of her artistic practice, serving as a method of creative renewal and transformation. Since the end of 2022, the artist has been engaging in this act of destruction as a means to make space for new artistic explorations. It is a process that she undertakes with both reverence and excitement, as she believes that destruction can be a catalyst for artistic growth.

In this latest collection from her studio, the artist has taken her experimentation to new heights. She has ventured into creating larger works by layering and weaving pieces of different paintings together, resulting in captivating and visually complex pieces of art. This innovative technique allows her to breathe new life into discarded elements, ultimately giving birth to entirely new works of art. It is through this meticulous process of deconstruction and reconstruction that she is able to harness the essence of her previous creations and infuse them with newfound energy and vitality.

Each painting that was destroyed was a product of intense artistic exploration between the years 2020 and 2021. They represented a period in the artist’s career when she explored the boundaries of color, technique, and new subject matter. The decision to destroy these paintings was not made lightly. It was a deeply personal and symbolic gesture, signifying a necessary detachment from past artistic styles and ideas. By letting go of these cherished pieces, the artist creates space for the emergence of a new artistic voice. The destruction of the old paves the way for the birth of the new, marking creative liberation.

The new collection that has arisen from these transformative acts of destruction tells a powerful story. It is a narrative of creative evolution, reflecting the artist’s growth and evolution as an individual and creator. Vibrant bird motifs soar across the canvas, carrying a sense of freedom and possibility. They reveal an artist who has shed the constraints of the past and embraced a more intuitive and expressive artistic approach.

This latest collection represents a turning point in the artist’s career. Through the destruction of her previous works, she has not only liberated herself from artistic constraints but has also reimagined her artistic practice. The resulting pieces are a testament to her fearlessness, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to artistic growth. They invite viewers on a visual journey of transformation, offering a glimpse into the artist’s ever-evolving creative spirit.
