Internationally exhibited, Hellstrom lives and works in San Francisco. Equilibrium is reached in her work as structural lines hold despite insistent disruptions. Centerlines hold despite the interference of splashed color, suggesting a curious interdependence between two forces. Sutra literally means a thread that holds things together in Sanskrit. Floating Sari resonates with that precarious concept through expressive brushwork in fluid color balanced along a center line creating a dynamic balance between acrylic ink and the polypropylene sheeting. Graphite elements evoke a sense of detachment among a host of competing forces. The work encompasses themes of impermanence, compassion, stability, and interdependence.
