K I R S C H Abstract Painting and Work on Paper
My work is somewhere between abstract and completely
non-objective. At times there seem to be recognizable images in my paintings,
but these images lack definite boundaries and oscillate between possibilities.
I am interested in the tension that occurs when perception is not absolutely
clear.
I utilize both a control of the medium and an allowance for the accidental.
Shifts of the image occur while I work and become part of the finished piece.
The completed painting is my response to the unsettling relationship between
random acts and carefully planned decisions. In every work I am concerned
with the physical properties of the material and the metaphorical content
of the image.
