Heidi Martin Kuster: Artista
"The passage of time marks itself.
Each stone I pick up holds evidence of a constantly transitioning planet. I like the idea that I can access traces of life from millions of years past, by simply examining a pebble.
By the time a stone makes its way to the palm of my hand it has liberated itself from a much larger body of rock. This emancipation born of fire, pressure, or chemical integration, creates notations… tangible committments to earth´s constant evolution, and time´s continuous passage.
My most recent paintings are compositions I have borrowed from the surfaces of these fragments. Grounding myself in physical reality, I pick and choose marks, and work toward valid composition. The images pull themselves to a sort of abstraction that reveals certain geological impressions. In my mind, this is a way to celebrate an undeniable spirituality born in the basic elements of nature.
Relatively speaking, I paint what I find as a reflection of life in rocks." heidi martin
