Kaye Mahoney
Kaye Mahoney is a Thai born Australian American multimedia artist. Her wide-ranging expressive tools include video, installations, painting, text, assemblage and music. Many of her works are conceived as platforms for experimentation and interaction. In her early years, after completing an MFA program at the New York Academy of Art, Mahoney trained in Italy and practiced as a muralist specializing in fresco. Mid-career, she was represented by Dillon Gallery in Chelsea, New York and exhibited regularly in France and Italy. Since moving to Australia, Mahoney’s shows have included a major solo exhibition at the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery, solo exhibitions in Sydney at Art Atrium and a show at Lesley Heller Gallery, New York. Mahoney maintains studios in Sydney and France and is represented in Sydney by Art Atrium.
“I am presenting a poem and a series of works (8 diptychs) that together represent the poem which is about “Sonic Bloom” – the idea that nature (particularly plant life) can blossom when exposed to music or sounds. This phenomenon is echoed in my creative process; I start with the seed of an image and improvise as I paint – all the while listening to music which feeds the painting and the growth and evolution of the image. The abstracted panel adjacent to the floral panel in each work is a synaesthetic scoring of the music and sounds to which I, and the imagery of plant life, respond.”
