KIM BERNARD
Inspired by the Sumi brush paintings of Zen masters, this recent body of 2 dimensional encaustic work is an attempt to capture movement: fluid, gestural, spontaneous, whole body movement, as in a dance. As a culmination of his summoned energy, the Zen master allows the ink to flow off the tip of his Sumi brush, committing to paper the extension of his Chi. Inspired by this approach to mark making, I place the panel flat on the floor, and allow the spiraling, gestural marks to become a record of my own whole body movement. The method that I've developed allows me to make marks and "erase" the ones that don't yield the desired results, until I get the right one and can commit to keeping it.
