Cindy Kane Exhibition
Masters & Pelavin
This event has ended.
The exhibition is a unique transformation of the written word into visual art.
For many years Kane has been working with artifacts, incorporating sheet music, road maps, and cursive writing practice sheets from her children’s school work into her paintings. This process led to her thinking about what it might be like to paint on the original notes and manuscripts of writers. Kane was fascinated by the process that every writer has of transmitting thoughts into printed words, to see the raw notes, and the scrawled handwriting in the margins of a hand typed page. Her paintings give us the voyeuristic pleasure of seeing what was never meant to be seen. These original pages provided the “backbone” to this series of paintings which she calls “Mapping Writers.” The paintings are the outgrowth of this response to the iconography of handwriting and the intimacy of the written word.
