Mirror Mind
Installation: Video, Sculpture, Archival Pigment Photographs, Paintings
An installation project, in progress, that explores personal  transformative memory.  Kalin investigates personal narratives, in her life, that changed her emotional identity creating a woven sense of being - both merging and separate, mirrored inside and outside.  She leans on the idea that the mind reflects objects of perception while becoming involved with them simultaneously. Kalin creates a space where images and materials converge to engage viewers with a visual sense of emotional transformation.

Thought Form Series
Medium: Acrylic, Gouache, Indian Ink, Wood Panels (3'x3')
Kalin's most recent painting series investigates the theosophical idea of Thought Forms - a term derived around the turn of the 20th by Theosophists, Annie Besant and Mr. Leadbeater. The general idea is that thoughts, in and of themselves, carry on beyond our bodies with color and form. These painting are 'studies' investigating the theosophical concept of thought forms intuitively allowing the work to evolve, morph and transform as personal memories present themselves in the process of creation.

​Crystal Shadows
Medium: Archival Pigment Photographs on Watercolor Paper (24"x30")
​Kalin's crystal and rock collection and their shadows. This series of photographs symbolize, for Kalin, her personal connection to spiritual realms of ritual and ceremony. Each image seeks to capture the aura and essence of the crystals and rocks through shadow, light and color. When working on these pieces I connected with the inherent wisdom these rocks and crystals hold, their characteristics, unique textures and shadows. I worked closely with the energetic properties of each object photographed using Theosophical techniques and meditation in the rendering process.
