To exchange information and or ideas that provoke and invite the viewer to engage, I believe, is the highest form of art, as well the greatest challenge for the artist. 

For me it’s always been one of personal observation and or conversation and an intimate transaction with the viewer, when creating new visual work. But at end, it’s the content, that often remains hidden from view and requires a physical movement by the artist to reveal, that is paramount. 

As a conceptual artist, the palpable form is the vehicle in which transports the content, but the very objects of execution remains secondary to the conceptual work, important but not vital to the context, when relating to the applied thought of the overall idea or the “art” itself .  

In this way, I have found the contours of conceptual art has enabled me to expand the sentiments of my work across various shapes and bleed the lines between traditional mediums and untraditional material execution, while exploring topics such as; home verses house or substance verses effect, and the displacement and rearrangement of found objects contrasted by the conditions of intimate relationships, isolation, and the human longing to connect.

 

Kite Kite is a self-taught visual artist and painter, encompassing installation and  performance art. Her work is often conceptual, with a strong personal narrative,  exploring the cultural psyche and the impacts of one’s social consciousness.  Her strengths are communicating through staged vignettes, set design, and sequential imagery, the emoted state and resolve of an individual’s process. Her work explores the human interaction within relationship and the opposing interfaces of ego-consumerism and intimacy. Kite’s work is often preoccupied with the image of the domesticated scenario, the literal objects found within the home, and or discarded or overlooked materials, to discuss such topics as; one’s displacement and identity, substance verses effect, and the personal process and evolution.
