Quiet Mind

Melanie Cheung

This body of work explores painting as catharsis. The series emerged from a desire to step away from outcome-driven thinking, to instead inhabit a state of flow, where the act of making becomes its own purpose. While reaching a state of calm is the intention, my process itself is often restless. I work quickly and intuitively, revising, deconstructing, and reconstructing compositions. Through abstraction, my practice explores quiet, unresolved emotional states.
