Karen Kirkwood: (paintings)
Karen Kirkwood's work seeks to find an equilibrium between physical elements and the forms of control that we employ when interpreting the physical world. Lines of axis balance on textured surfaces. Opaque and lucid tones meld and merge to imply a fusion of heat and light, cold and dark. Movement is tethered by stillness, fine grids control past processes.
Roche Lobe Variables:
There are currently 170 RLV'S of which 110 are presented here. The drawings are created in a number of alternating layers added by each artist. The process is cumulative and ends when a 'state of agreement' is reached,
(Roche Lobe Variables is the name for conditions that exist in a binary star system where material in orbit around the system is continually exchanged between the two stars under their combined gravity.)
