Kitty Hsieh: Abstracted Thoughts


Kitty Hsieh: Abstracted Thoughts

None of these pieces immediately communicate a direct message or appear especially planned. However, the ability to draw in a stream of consciousness is an effective way of clearing one’s mind when stuck in a boring class, waiting around or simply relaxing. Rather than being meticulously planned out, these pieces display the result of seeing where your art will take you in the moment. Beginning by repeatedly drawing a certain shape on whichever surface is available, often a notebook, the abstract shapes are eventually developed into a captivating design. The decision to use ink exhibits a feeling of permanence, relying on a stream of creativity, instead of spending time perfecting each detail. Abstracted Thoughts came out of a state of restlessness, attempting to occupy oneself by drawing whatever comes to one’s mind.
