For the past year, Cleveland-based painter/printmaker Kate Snow has been keeping a journal: a visual journal. It’s based on daily drawings that her artist statement describes as “both meditations and endurance exercises.”
Based on simple, repetitive movements that use lines, repeated shapes and a limited color palette, she aims to “explore the uneasy relationship between chaos and control and “seek balance within complexity and questions how we connect, rely on, and betray ourselves and each other.” They also follow the progress of her chronic autoimmune disease, its flare-ups and its relatively benign periods..
She says “Making a painting a day that documents my ability, a journal, a diary of my day-to-day. Some days I can function and work in the studio for up to three hours. Some days I can’t get out of bed.”
The series of drawings she’s showing at the Deep Dive Art Project at the Deep End on Waterloo document two months when she was able to sit at her studio table. The drawings will be on view in Deep Dive’s small intimate upstairs gallery where visitors can take time to commune with them.
