Title Fix
Creator Pamela Beach
Description A portrait of a woman. She sits in a colorful hammock, lush plants behind her and patterned carpet below. This piece was displayed as part of the 2024 exhibition "Selfographies". / "I need to make art because it keeps me alive. It feeds me and makes my life livable. I realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate what I create. I realize that making art is always going to be something difficult for people to understand. But I don't care. I don't care because I have to make art. I just have to do it. Just like someone somewhere has to jump over a pole and win a gold medal. It keeps me healthy and provides me with the outlet I need. And so I've come to the understanding that I make artwork in order to live. Using art as therapy allows my feelings to take form. They are outside of me for the moment. I can look at them and try to assess them. The work includes layers which indicate the advancement from fear and trauma to life and beauty." Statement from Sitter, Kathryn Knudsen.
