breaking through series
“Like great brain synapses, energy is carried from one end of surfaces to the other in a miasma, a hurricane, a deafening sound on a molecular level, information rushes in and out of the forms, from the forefront to the background, at once in a hurry to carry it and evolving from utter stillness.
“The artist describes function in energetic terms, going beyond the personal, to discover the origins which compel her disclosure.”
– Marjorie Kaye, curator and director of the Caladan Gallery

“Hathaway pushes through boundaries in this series of paintings. Pulsating color undulating with line define patterns evocative of connections in both microcosm and macrocosm. There is a sense of mapping the passage of time and the gesture of memory. The compositions share a transformative quality in their chromatic embeddings... freely inventive, rule-breaking and playful.”

Fighting the “good war” against evil has been the theme of hegemony, rationalizing the call to take up arms. There is a tendency of societies to pretend unawareness that the majority of victims in any conflict are women and children. History is whitewashed in the hands of the victor. Questions of morality are evaded. The victims become invisible.
In this body of work I explore “the culture of make believe”. In my painting, abstract meets representational. Layers of color, geometrics and organic fields interact to create tension. There is a sense of mapping informed by Google satellite images, history and real statistics. My hope is to create a visual awareness leaving the viewer with open-ended questions.
In one painting, titled, “The Invisibles”, an earthy abstraction of an aerial view of a village in Darfur is overlaid with tiny circles and rectangles in brilliant cadmium red. These shapes conceptualize the children abducted in a past raid. The innocent who become future child soldiers through intense physical and mental indoctrination.
As an artist activist I want to go beyond opening a dialogue and directly help women and child victims by working with a sponsor.
