Kittie Beletic – Shadow Breathes

Description

Artist Statement

A person’s story brings nuance to her work. Mine was filled with music from the beginning and it is from music that inspiration continues to flow. I am drawn to explore the nature of relationship. No matter what I’m making, it always feels contemporary because it is created in the moment. Incorporating images from my past as well as how I am influenced by current sounds, beats, harmonies and stories yet to be lived. The timelessness of paper – working it with my hands,tearing tiny bits to shape an image, shading it with modern day inks and metallics, hand
made pastels, acrylics and watercolor paints, incorporating ancient and timeless hand work like embroidery, tatting, beading, anything with exotic fibers – I let the music lead me as I create within a given framework. It is, to me, songwriting and poetry. Music … literally my greatest muse … comes through my heart and hands.
