Kim Minuti

Drawn to the inconsequential, overlooked elements and details in the crossover spaces between our urban and natural environments, Kim hopes her work encourages us to take note of the small things, in the places that surround and shape us.  With her organic approach to printmaking, a sense of narrative forms from the moment of transfer to paper and the work becomes a visual inquiry of ways these two worlds co-exist and collide. 

Often embracing abstract compositions in contrast with elements collected and used directly from nature, encourages the potential open to chance.  She chooses not to create editions and much of the work remains as unique, one-off pieces.  There may be subtle variations, reminiscent of the constancy of time and perpetual change.

Recent work uses screen printed layers of saturated and translucent shapes to explore the weight and shifting mood of colour - echoed by our urban and natural spaces.  Collecting a series of found or displaced materials to expose directly to the screen, the works capture an interplay between a suggestion of three-dimensional form creating tension with blocks of colour.

The relation of her work to our environment and our intrinsic connections to nature are vital to the integrity of the work itself.  She feels our interior spaces can be a source of celebration of this universality.
