Mahalene Louis:
This is why I have come, this is what propels me to do art, to enter through my media and with my fellow beings another world where all is freedom, fluidity and joy. Echoing that intent, I work with silk, the most flexible material I know.
In this vision, art becomes an increasingly purposeful process, a technology to bypass the complexity of the little ego's dreary limitations.
Because art is born of inspiration from the abstract and imaginative realms, I recognize the contemporary artist's task to ground and redirect those primeval patterns of apparent chaos through discipline into expressive simplicity. Thus can the artist, the voice of art, earn trust and a hearing.
