kalamalka lake series
ORIGINAL abstract PAINTINGs inspired by kalamalka lake
ARTIST STATEMENT
This is a series of paintings I made in 2019 that were inspired by the colourful waters of Kalamalka Lake. Kalamalka "Kal" Lake is located between Lake Country and Vernon, BC. During the warmer months, calcium carbonate in the lake forms crystals that reflect sunlight which results in a captivating exhibition of blues, greens and teals. There is a longstanding rumor that Kalamalka means "lake of many colours", but there is no evidence to support this. Regardless, Kal Lake is one of the many natural wonders that the Okanagan Valley has to offer.
My Kalamalka Lake series was created using a dirty pour technique with a non-cell forming, high-gloss pouring medium. All pieces were made on cradled wood panels and have vibrant high-gloss surfaces. Wood panels were used instead of canvas as they provide a more rigid surface which helps reduce shifting as the paint dries. Cups were filled with shades of blue, green and teal paint and then inverted onto the surface. Once the paint was released, panels were tilted to help the paint flow. This application resulted in beautiful, flowing water-like patterns reminiscent of what you see when you open your eyes under water and look up towards the sun. Edges were finished with clean black paint. All pieces have been signed by the artist on the front and back.
