YUMI HOGAN(USA):

This work is my interpretation and abstract vision of the harmony of nature. We human beings are part of nature like cool breezes, trees and flowing water. I feel this existence in the meaning of nature through the freedom of movement and unstructured imagery. All of our lives are connected in this way.

Some of my works also depict the sudden change in my life that has affected my being and my art. After my husband was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer and friends diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I began to use green lines for Lymphoma and pink lines for Breast Cancer. This was to represent those around me who have a great effect on me.

By nature’s terms, it emphasizes the wispy curves of a breeze with its ups and downs - a characteristic portraying the unpredictable path of human life and of nature. My life, too, has been drastically pulled at its corner with my husband and friends’ diagnosis. It was the calm before the storm hit. It is my intent to make people feel and understand the unpredictable breath of nature through my works.
