Kotara’s art includes works on canvas, paper and mylar;
Braille; screens; Polaroids; sculpture and site specific installations that are
contemporary, abstract and grid-based. Learn more at www.kotarastudio.com.
Artist’s statement: My curiosity about arcane systems
that in some way serve to explain our world has me constantly posing what if
type questions and exploring ways of noting my observations, and this
ask-answer sequence fuels my creative muse.
One particular question – how does form come into being – has led me
towards creating visual meditations on this mystery alone.
Because origin of form is addressed through an array of
disciplines, as I seek information about physical realms, I look to historic
and current sources in biology and geology.
For the conceptual domain, I explore mathematics and the cosmology, all
the while capturing and organizing bits of abstract information on grid – like
segments of DNA interacting to unfold to recognition when the time is right.
