From Kendra Kett, Gallery Director, Owner/Curator:
The Particle Series is a collection of mixed media artworks about the power of healing and recovery after loss, betrayal, abuse and grief. The series implies that healing doesn't always happen in huge leaps and bounds -- but more so cell by cell, particle by particle -- within us. We slowly evolve and heal, breath by breath, day by day, one cell at a time.
“The shapes in my art are my imaginative visual ideas of what our cells, molecules -- and their interactions -- look like as we encounter the hard work of healing while we simultaneously enter new states of renewal and aliveness that place us on a now different path. My art is also about experiencing conflicting emotions, sometimes within a single moment. Many pieces address the co-existence within us of sadness & happiness, anger & compassion, despair & accomplishment, love & loneliness.”
Kendra adds: "We are VERY EXCITED to announce our new 2023 Collective Artists who will be showing their works here year-round."
