Exploratory Art : Learning from the world around us
About the Artist & Educator : Kyle Browne
Artist Statement
I create because I am compelled to. Creative expression drives my soul. A balance, a release, a meditative state of purity, a flow. Capture.
Capturing the moment, the movement, collecting the subtleties, the essence, a feeling.
A fleeting feeling expressed in painted color on a smooth delicate piece of hand-made paper, or collaged on a battered block of salty driftwood. To completely immerse myself in the quiet intense focus of excitement and discovery.
I create to clarify my mind, to allow deep thoughts to emerge, to unearth connections with images, textures and text in relationship to my world, our world. Our world – a beautiful disaster. So fragile, yet resilient.
I create to connect and build with nature, to bridge art with the environment.
To engage with the sounds, visuals, and conscious, of a swish of a flock of sand pipers simultaneously taking off for flight, the reflection and ripples of a street puddle captured between thawing ice, or the light riding a wave onto the hard sand, of a shell covered beach.
I create to understand humans’ relationship to our earth, our cultures, and to express my respect for its undying strength as it continues to amaze me.
Share. I educate because of my desire to share. I want to share these moments with others, share the artists mind, the contemplation of the beauty and life in everything. Lightness and heaviness, natural and un-natural, to release the burdens and routine of life and add a certain weightlessness to them.
To surprise the viewer and challenge their way of seeing.
I create to be whole…. will you create with me?
