The Shape of Becoming

Form emerges through process — each mark, revision, and variation of shape contributes to an evolving whole. 

”I create my paintings through an intuitive, playful approach to shape and structure. Each painting builds on elements of the previous, so that a cohesive palette and motifs emerge from the process itself.  Direction is not predetermined, but discovered through the act of making — a response to what has come before. The vivid colors of this collection come from a place of self-determination, a defiance of despair, and promise of empowerment.

In this space of repetition and transformation, I invite you to consider the shape of your own experience: life is not a fixed path but a continuous act of becoming.” -Katie Jett Walls

“The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.”
