Artist statement: Four years ago when I began to work in my forest studio, like a character from a fairy tale wandering into the woods, I entered into the unknown. After more than twenty years working on large installation pieces which you can see and read about at www.KateBrownArt.com, I set about to return to abstract painting with the knowledge that I had gained from installations. I began to make tiny clay tear catchers like the ones I had seen in theTibilisi museum in Georgia many years before. These are small vessels designed to capture the tears of a lover as a relic of their being. In fairy tales, tears are also the catalyst for the miraculous — at the touch of tear, still things move, dead creatures awaken, new things are created. My journey had begun. I started to think alot about drops and the word ‘drop’ and how it is used — how drops use gravity and how women use gravity to give birth. Today, when a new cd is launched they say it is ‘dropped’ — the creation has been born. These thoughts then stirred fond memories of being a little girl feeding injured birds with an eye dropper, and then … the Drop Paintings began.
