Location
Monique Martin is known for her large scale paintings; however, this body of work is comprised of reductive technique linocuts. This exhibition explores the concept of "flow." She gained inspiration for the artwork from reading the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. For Monique, art is all about entering a state of flow, whether it is working with students at the Fine Arts School where she teaches or in her studio. The creative process is what her life is about. She creates with her students at work and creates in her studio at home. Her work utilizes concepts and images that constantly change because her art is a way of exploring who she is, who she was, who she is becoming and where she fits into the world around her. Fish are the main image in this exhibition. The work is displayed in a non-traditional format with the artwork hung at various levels.
