MACKENZIEVANORDEN

Within my work I create fluid iterations with emphasis on conceptual aspects related to color, space, and how those interact with one another I intuitively create, where my mind becomes the tool that writes itself

Often, I mix and dilute acrylic paint colors, using mark making and repetition to bring out movement and fuzziness to imply atmosphere and perspective In addition to color ink from marker to provide implied texture Through exploration of color and light, she chose to eliminate black, for its absence of light The restraint in application of pigment decreases the intensity in some colors which by contrast magnifies others and becomes a reflection of how I perceptively see

These works are a way to juxtapose the reality of life through an idealistic, fantastical, dreamlike way but it takes on the perspective of romanticizing how one might view their world through the unwieldy

These works are an elevated focus of how the mind and body works to transcribe intuitive works It is inventive, abstracted, and distorted reminiscent of watercolor

My works unapologetically become a translation of a person who lives with a visual disability and their perceived world through color choices, formatting, and materials. The works are delicate, fluid, tranquil, and grounding within the process and product.
