KAY WALKINGSTICK
Blame the Mountains In
her work, Kay develops visual ideas about the metaphorical aspects of the
Earth. Through frequent journeys to Rome, she continues to explore these
tropes by incorporating figures in her drawings and paintings -- her
characteristic abstract landscape paintings have become a stand-in for her own
body. Her forceful, erotic, sometimes frightening figures, be they classical
Greek and Roman ones or the North American Kokopelli, depict
psychological states. Mountains in their skyward thrust embody chthonic
energy, permanence and sacred space. K. W.

"Blame the Mountains focuses on optimism and determination as a large
female figure crawls, almost out of the picutre plane. Kay, by returning
to the figurative, has also opened the way to narrative. - Gerrit Henry in
