Carolyne Kardia | Painting Sculpture
Paintings and sculptural installations aim to celebrate pigment and the
existence of temporal forms in space. Sculpture is cast in plaster on site
responding to the specifics of the architectural space. Forms slowly
evolve, building complex constructions pushing the material to its
limits. Paintings in differing media explore colour, its responses to
various applications ultimately affirming its implicit resounding
characteristics. Ink drawings trace the ability of line to entrap space
within two-dimensions. Developing the relationship between the two
and three-dimensional creates a dialogue across their boundaries
aiming to echo form with colour and colour with form.
Workshops are available in painting and sculpture for children and
adults including affiliated OCA courses.
