I understand my work to challenge the boundary between control and uncertainty.
The grounding I feel through my work is an expression of the space that exists between these two phenomena. As the layers of color accumulate on each painting, the opportunity to manipulate the space between control and uncertainty diminishes.
A sense of urgency arises, which is expressed in the textured movement of color. Paradoxically, as the process unfolds, my desire to control dissipates, and I am left with the ambiguous feeling of uncertainty. However, whereas in the past this ambiguity would disturb me, I now find the process reassuring. It is clear that, despite my best intentions, each piece will choose its own path. ~ Kristina Quinones
