Kay Hartung’s captivating work is inspired by the microscopic and biological world, which she interprets with pastels, collage, encaustic and her love of color, pattern and texture. Interested in art at a young age, Kay studied fibers and textiles in college and grad school. One can see her textile sensibility is her current body of work. Her pieces are visual adventures in color, shape and line which she achieves building up layers of fabric, shellac, encaustic and other materials. Here is a little from Kay’s artist’s statement: I have been looking at electron microscope photographs and am inspired by the abstract organic shapes and intense color of this hidden world. I imagine the energy and interactions that go on in the body and the mind to produce action and thought. I am exploring the connections between science and art; conscious of the profound effects that these minute biological forms have on the universe.
