Gallery — Kira Klein

Bodies are, to me, surfaces ~ inhabited in layered, sentient ways.

In my artistic work, I engage with vivid sensations that are held back, contained by surfaces — and yet, unpredictably, like water in a pipe, they keep finding small holes in the system through which they can escape and reveal themselves.

It is about the choice between suppression and safety on one side, and self-liberation and ecstasy on the other. Both sides are in constant interaction, each continually threatening the other's existence.

In the open process of image-making, I search for fluid transitions between these polar forms of life: the outer surface that promises safety, and an uncontrollable, living inner space.
