Jana Kleine Kalmer
The Organic Sequences are a series of illustrations born from the desire to reclaim the time, physical and mental space occupied by the pressures of today’s world. Jana began the series as a past-time, a means to slow everything down and quieten the mind. After a time, the repetitive process of the work itself evolved into an act of meditation. Each illustration is unique and reflects her moods and tempers of the hours and days it has been created on. Jana experiments with processes and techniques that do not focus on the perfect outcome, but rather let structures unfold slowly and grow organically with the flow of the ink. Results should not be influenced or forced, the dynamic of the moment defines the drawing.
