Kiana Baynes
Artist Statement
There’s something nostalgic about the feeling of wind brushing your skin. The feel of the tide trying to pull you out to sea, and waves rolling over your face from under the surface. It’s both familiar and invigorating. I find myself captivated by these moving, flowing aspects of the natural world. These elements are never static, they are beautiful, soothing, and strong. These are the feelings I capture in my work.
I try to manipulate characteristics of lines to evoke feelings of calm and strength. Playing with the direction and weight of lines to find the right balance. Finding strength in clean, sharp edges.
