BY MEANS OF THE WIND
Art Kites and Original Prints by Leslie Kyte
I have always made art.
In college I studied, among many things, painting and art history.
I retired from my work as a hospice nurse in 2012. Since then, I have focused on learning Japanese calligraphy and some simple printmaking techniques.
Most recently, I have begun to make my prints into kites.
Why kites? Like prayer flags, they carry messages on the wind.Their materials - the strong, translucent Japanese paper, and the delicate but supple bamboo spars - speak of light. They express freedom, resilience and aspiration. I hope you will find them uplifting too.
Preview: Sunday September 7th, 2 - 4 pm
Opening reception: Tuesday September 9th, 4 - 7 pm
Open house: Saturdays in September: 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th, 11 - 1pm
I will be on site on Saturdays for āshow and tellā with some of the tools and materials I use in print- and kite-making.
