An interesting insight about Deborah Kapoor's work by Catherine Nash: The deeply connected art and spirit of Seattle based artist Deborah Kapoor will fill my day today. We've been writing to each other as friends for over a year, but have only met face to face briefly, although I managed to catch a superb show of hers two years ago. You'd think I would be tired, but the level and meaningfulness of the conversations are so nourishing and enlightening, I am kind of ...floating. Kapoor says, "The dualistic abstract imagery of spirit (soul/being) and matter (clouds, books, lovemaking, prayer beads) reveal the interplay between form and formlessness. Circles predominate in the work, as literal and metaphorical signs alluding to states of continuity, exchange and containment."
