Life and Art Questions

Life and Art questions. "Questions" A grid of nine pictures of a woman in motion, silhouetted against a doorway. Original print mezzotint Chine collé by painter-printmaker Marina Kim

Life and Art questions are the drives behind creative processes. Sometimes it feels that there are only questions, but where are the answers?

This artwork was inspired by a friend artist, jewellery designer, spiritual seeker and a beautiful woman Jane Runchman. Some ten years ago, she posed for a series of photographs in my studio. Based on the studio photos, I made a set of 3 prints in mezzotint but kept thinking about something more. 

I followed Jane's progress on the series of beautiful abstract watercolour pieces titled "Logos" for a while now. That led me to revisit my memories of our studio conversations about life, art, and creativity. Finally, this work came about last summer after a very long gestation period. I named it "Questions". Does it resonate with you?
