Motive Evolving – About the Series

Post author By Elisabeth Kelvin
Post date 22. August 2020
1 Comment on Motive Evolving – About the Series
Sticky post

motive evolving (large)

A naked figure in a room. I look, I sketch, I look again. What is my point? A glimpse of clarity or an accumulated crystalization? What begins as a charcoal line on a smudged sketchpad during a life drawing session, gives impulse to a fulsome experience that alters my creative course. This is arrival and breakout, inspiration and challenge. Generating a plethora of images, new questions, and yielding moments of satisfaction, Motive Evolving emerges.

When I see the model posing, I see movement. After quickly depicting the model’s breath, a twitching muscle, the self-conscious tummy-tuck, quivering fleshy bits, and moistness, these vulnerable, gorgeous, creative fragments evolve from sketching to painting.

As beautiful or ugly as the human form is seen, the manifestation of its resilience is awesome. How do digestion and respiratory systems collaborate? How do eyes, ears, nose, and mouth synthesize in harmony or dissonance? How does genitalia do its sexy job when feces is a visitor? The awareness of a fine-line walk at this point, between harnessing creative obsession and falling into mere figurative representation, leads to an anatomical exploration from an aesthetic perspective. Notebooks overflow, questioning form and function, color and texture, viscosity, anecdotes, and, naturally, sketches. Piles of sketches.

Working with pens, pencils, pastels, potatoes, oil, acrylics, ink, watercolor, paper, beads, modeling clay, food, anything safe and possible, a body of work forms. (Insert awareness of pun here.) These include hundreds of sketches, over 20 small to medium-sized paintings, several large paintings including two-meter works on canvas, palm-sized sculptures, paper collages, and printed products such as masks and mugs. (Insert dark side music here.)

Selection from Motive Evolving Series by Elisabeth Kelvin

Key to Motive Evolving is the concept of a series. Here lies the freedom to get stuck into it, to race, waver, hesitate, and to take a form to its point of bitter-endedness. Plunging down color theory rabbit holes and soaring across cultural landscapes, I create as if no one is watching, but practise as if they are. Within the realms of my art and music experience, more questions about motives, themes, developments, recurrences, resonances, and tangents ensue. One body part leading to another. Around 2011, within my artists’ community, the series was being described as Corporeal Abstraction.

Meanwhile, an irksome question that others feel compelled to ask is, “Have you sold anything?” Sometimes, I respond by twirling around to the soggy beat of commercial chatter as I teeter on the rope of truth. However, thank you for asking and for your past, present, and future support for contemporary artists. It is with satisfaction that Motive Evolving may be described as a solid success. From the model’s pose in a dusty art room, through to the creative impulse and multiple sales, the link is clear. How fortunate that I do practice since the world, or at least the better bits of it, is watching after all! (Insert awesome resilience “great do more” badge here.)

To confront challenges,

respond to inspiration,

eyes and ears peeled for a breakout;

this is how the motive evolves.

Bass Clarinet Feast

Music Movement Project

The bass clarinet. What a beautiful beast.

My first encounter with one made a huge impression. The conductor of the student orchestra passed me a large case saying, “Here is the bass clarinet. It has been borrowed from the opera orchestra. You can practice on it.” I carefully unpacked the enormous, smelly thing (smiling at the stuffed plush toy rabbit stuck in the bell.) How I made a sound and what it sounded like I don’t remember. However, I took it home, practiced until the blisters on my lip swelled up, fell madly in love and kept at it. Of course I have my magnificent beast now. It is my baby and my teacher all in one. The range, the tones, the sheer physicality of it is my unending feast. I devour its beauty. I make love and music with it. I dance and sing with it. We are best friends. It inspires and informs my visual art and movement performance. You are invited to my Bass Clarinet Feast.

It’s all about bass clarinet here! Alone and with like-minded bass clarinet players. All live performances in various locations.
