cathy sarkowsky: the desire to be special
The 65 works on paper by Cathy Sarkowsky are part of an ongoing series examining the desire to be special — a very human desire that ranges from striving for excellence, distinction and recognition, to narcissism and egotism.
Sarkowsky experiences both vulnerability and strength in this desire to stand out, to create beauty and meaning, to be appreciated, all the while understanding that art is highly subjective, and that rejection is very much a part of the experience of being an artist.
Using highly decorative vintage brooches as a metaphoric point of departure, these delicate paintings reference an embellishment typically worn to be noticed, to call attention. They prompt a desire to be seen, to be special. Graphite lines form the solid structure of each image, with watercolor often spreading beyond those lines, signifying the control and chaos that comes from being human and experiencing the full spectrum of the desire to be special.
