‘IMPRINTS’

Joy Kinna

In the role of both artist and mother, surrender becomes a profound echo, the same voice calling back again and again. An acknowledgment of the relinquished control when paint embraces canvas, leaving its mark without any certainty of destination. An Imprint shared by both creator and mother as they guide their children through the labyrinth of existence.

A dichotomy of finely-tuned mastery and the innocent strokes of naïvety.  The artistic process, akin to nurturing, relies upon the inherent unpredictability of creation and motherhood alike. In this body of work by Joy Kinna the pieces are Imprints of forgotten freedom and liberation beneath the weight of adulthood, inviting a return to the playground of her mind in childlike wonder.

A reverie of work, transports us to a time of unbridled freedom. Observing her young children, the artist is reminded of the undulating ripples and impressions we cast upon them and they cast upon her — a profound interplay between motherhood and artistic expression. With each Imprint on the canvas boundaries extend, crafting a composition that blends the carefree freedom of youth with the nuanced intricacies of motherhood.

This creation and nurture of artworks, where surrender is not a loss but a convergence, where the artist's Imprint mirrors the enduring legacy of a mother's guidance.
