Amanda M. Kralovic 'Down'
Drawer 3- Down Medium, Relief print, 2.5” x 19”, 2019
Artist Statement
My work is a reflection of what I see within this world and how my mind transforms it. Currently, my works explores my emotional attachment to water; water a reflective device that holds an image, even if only for a split second. I explore all the possibilities of its surface and translucency through color, shape and pattern with its ability to move or be moved as its manipulated. As I translate my physical and mental emotions, I extract shapes, patterns and colors as visual metaphors. I work to create a language of communication through the use of both physical and visual objects as they relate to the physical body and the emotional process of my mind’s thoughts and development.
