Kinesis Monotypes - 2006 The title of this series of monotypes, "Kinesis", refers to the effects of various stimuli in physics such as light, causing the opening and rotation of flowers, or, in the case of music, the flow of air that sets an oboe reed vibrating. The gestures of the human body in the art of modern dance have also been an inspiration. Aspects of these images suggest a formal connection to the compositional ideas in the "Etudes" series. In addition, they evoke the dynamics of natural forms flowing and unfolding in space, relating to the surge and rhythmic motion of ocean forms in the earlier "Sea Change" series. The
use of black with white creates a strong contrast, lending a more dramatic
intensity and vitality to this experience of motion. Linda
Plotkin

Apparitions Collages - 2002 to 2005 The title of these small, intimate works refers to the experience of dreaming, a time when images, seemingly random, can be appealing, but more often sinister and disturbing, and combine in unexpected and mysterious ways. Their appearance can be veiled and disguised, with occasional glimpses of pristine clarity. The true meaning is always just out of reach. Linda Plotkin |
