Art-making leaves a trace behind. From studio photos, time lapse videos, texts, social media posts to online sources, contemporary artists provide a glimpse into their studio practice. This exhibition aims to investigate the trails and clues left behind in the art-making process by presenting various types of documentation from the artists way of working. The works were chosen with the purpose to present a variety of styles, mediums and approaches to art-making." An artist’s sketchbook is often hidden from the public eye, unseen lost in a sea of papers but is their “go to memory book”. This exhibition strives to allow the public access to see, touch and personally flip through the sketchbooks which provide a snippet into the artist’s soul and inner most creative mind. She creates constantly in her home studio, better known as Kennedy Wright Designs LLC and is also an avid University of Florida, Palm Beach County, Master Gardener. As a graphic designer at a T-shirt company, I would sit at the end of my day and draw stick figures. Funny enough I would toss my sketches in the garbage. One year later when I decided to move on to another job. On my last day of work, my coworker presented me with a stack of my discarded sketch book leaves and said, “one day these are going to be AWESOME!” I still have those designs pasted with now yellowing rubber cement in a black sketchbook in my studio. Fast forward… it’s almost 30 years since I drew my first Dafty Duds, Faces and other one of a kind illustrations they have finally come alive again. On the more serious side…of my work are my fiber art pieces. I am drawn to more in-depth minimalistic, bold, textural exploration of multicultural portraiture. Yes, we are truly one people, in mind and thought but are just separated by geographically imposed extensions of our thoughts and ideologies. I seek to explore, capture and create statements of harmony making meaningful life statements through a myriad of faces. Art-making leaves a trace behind.
