Kira Alanna Art

IM KIRA AND I LOVE COLOR AND MAKING THINGS! I GREW UP IN GEORGETOWN, TEXAS AND ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES IS PAINTING ON PAPER PLATES WITH MY GRANDFATHER WHO WAS TRYING HIS BEST TO TEACH ME PATIENCE AND THE ART OF OBSERVATION. I WENT TO COLLEGE IN NEW YORK FOR TWO YEARS AND AM CURRENTLY STUDYING STUDIO ART AT KENYON COLLEGE IN RURAL OHIO. IVE ALWAYS BEEN A PAINTER , BUT I'M DEVELOPING A LOVE FOR ABSTRACT CONTEMPORARY WORK. MY RECENT WORK FOCUSES ON HOW OUR BODIES INTERACT WITH SPACE. My experimentation explores what it means to engage in dialogue with a space that is greater than the individual; I wonder about how our bodies give meaning to space as well as the ways space might give meaning to our bodies.
