BoldBrush Recommends: Kim PayneGet Notified When Kim Posts New Art BiographyIn the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot nations. I live on the land adjacent to where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, known as Moh'kinsstis (Blackfoot), and called Calgary (Alberta, Canada) by settlers. This Treaty 7 area, is the traditional territory of the Blackfoot confederacy which includes the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani, as well as the Tsuut'ina, and Stoney Nakoda which include the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations. This territory is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. _______________________ Kim returned to making art in 2020 after retiring from teaching as an elementary generalist. Her artwork focusses on line, colour, texture and pattern. She seeks out those design elements wherever she goes, recording them with her camera. The subject matter used in her collages is often found by looking down on a sidewalk, a road or the floor of a shower stall! Viewers who see Kim's artwork for the first time, are often drawn in for a closer look to determine what images have been used to build the collages. Intrigue is created through the use of industrial subjects such as shower drains, manhole covers, and water shut-off valve covers. These industrial objects are usually machine-made in factories or foundries where the workers are typically men. She has transformed these mundane, overlooked objects so that they are viewed in a new light. Kim uses software to edit the images, consider size differences, and look at the range of colour possibilities. Duplicate prints are made at a commercial photo lab and then she begins cutting out geometric shapes. Exploration begins as the pieces are moved around, turned and flipped. After a satisfactory composition emerges, the pieces are glued on to illustration board. FASO Loves Debra Keirce’s charcoal paintings! See More of Debra Keirce’s art by clicking here.
