AVM Hawkins at Enter Opening Reception at Mid Main Gallery, Houston, TX.
Enter
Enter marks AVM’s debut of new work following the birth of her son. AVM invites the viewer to step directly into her world—the elusive, indescribable realm of abstraction. Designed as an immersive experience, Enter surrounds and envelops, drawing the viewer deeper into the art until they are fully submerged in its layers depths. Lose yourself in the work—and perhaps find your Self.
This exhibition unfolds through a dynamic interplay of movement, texture, contrast, and color—balancing surrender and control, risk and faith, beauty and complexity. Enter involves several studio sessions building layers upon layers of mark-making, movement, contrast, color and confidence. These works are designed to lure the viewer in—to become completely submerged—expanding consciousness to the point where reality is questioned. Not because one is lost in another dimension, but because clarity has been found within.
“Enter is the first series I’ve painted after becoming a mother. As a new mom, my world, perspective and priorities shifted beyond what I could have ever imagined. Who I was before, no longer exists. My ego dissolved. My sense of identity has been forgotten as I become totally immersed as a witness and participant in the growth of a brand new life. The adoration and love I have for my son and husband is overwhelming. A love I did not realize I was capable of, but now know, is all I have ever been made of. ”
