OK Landscape: from cornfields to oilfields
Beginning with westward expansionism and
continuing through the oil boom to today,
the landscape of Oklahoma has been
redefined and sculpted by industry. I plan to
create a series of ten translucent and backlit
landscape paintings that illustrate that history
by choosing sites across Oklahoma where the
mesh of organic systems and industrial
modification is apparent and depicting
them.

Grace titled her work to describe her idea in a simple way.
She starts with a big idea
Explains why this work? Clear # & type of artworks
My paintings have always hovered near abstraction while still retaining their representational origins. However with this series I would like to allow the works to dissolve more fully into abstraction, allowing color and gestural line to convey more feeling than representation alone allows.
Which is not to say that the paintings won’t be based in representation. By hiring local pilots I plan to take aerial photographs that I can use as a jumping off point for expressive, panoramic compositions. Each painting will be a long horizontal, roughly 2’x 4.’
how her work will grow & develop
Details about how she’ll create
Details on size & shape
These industrial landscape paintings
represent the modification of the
Oklahoma landscape over time. The
materials (leaves, industrial mylar, & electronics) and the composition will
work together to illustrate the complex
relationship between the natural world
and industry inherent in the world
today.
Nice details about materials
Why the materials are right for THIS idea!
Additionally I am interested in exploring
the use of motion detectors such as
infrared sensors to make the paintings
viewer responsive…. I have already
begun experimenting with wiring LED
lights in parallel and series, both rows
and branching patterns. Adding sensors
to the LED lights will open up a world of
possibilities compositionally. It will allow
me to move beyond the static image as
well as surprise and more fully engage
the interested viewer with the paintings.
New ideas she’s trying and why

Margaret Kinkeade: Momentum Spotlight OKC 2012
Using the timeless forms of Shaker furniture and craft I intend to create an
installation, working title “Fragile Stillness and Strength”, in which the viewer can
imagine what it would look like if traditionally feminine materials were applied
to masculine craft and vice-versa. I plan to create a Shaker style kitchen table
and two chairs constructed out of translucent, unglazed, slipcast porcelain
2x4’s of various lengths. The 2x4’s will be joined together with yarn or twine in
the place of metal screws or nails, creating an unstable and unusable
centerpiece that will be illuminated by the light that passes through it’s uneven
surfaces. To create a striking juxtoposition, the ceramic furniture will be flanked
by a pair of hanging, backlit, hand-plasmacut steel twin bed sized “quilts”.
One of the quilts will showcase the “Wedding Ring” pattern and the other
“Rooftop” pattern, both of which I feel represent women’s traditional goal and
understood private realm. Each quilt will be incised with both the pattern
stated above and a series of created “fabric scrap patterms”, by using steel
the usefulness of the quilt will be removed in the same vain as the ceramic
table and chairs. The use of Shaker style furniture is in part due to the
iconographic nature of their forms, but primarily due to the fact that the
Shakers have always been regarded as an egalitarian society who valued
simplicity in form and life while always striving to do whatever they choose to
do the best that they are able to. What is so interesting to me is that even
within a group where men and women are seen as equals in both the public
and private realms women’s work still consists of primarily domestic duties such
as cleaning the home and crafts such as garment construction. Thank you for
the opportunity to apply for Momentum Spotlight and for the chance to have
curatorial guidance for my proposed installation.

Pedestals for Booth Upgrade
I attend 5 art shows each year: Heard
Museum in Phoenix, Red Earth, Cherokee
Art Market, Southeast Art Market of the
Chickasaw Nation and Caddo Mounds in
Alto, Texas. My booth needs an upgrade
to present my work more effectively. My
project is to purchase pedestals for my
booth. I have selected collapsible
pedestals from Armstrong Products, Professional Displays, Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Clear what she needs & why.
