Malin’s work is a process of visual stimulation; from looking closely at flowers and gardens to her photographs of sprawling aerial views. It mimics images of everyday life from table settings to patterns in nature. Solutions are found between human hieroglyphics and grids and the chaotic marks of seasonal change and elemental evolution. Colour and textures unite in compositional recollections and create a new reality. Abstracted images indicate emotional responses and perhaps a sense of joy and beauty.
Her later Lexan pieces explore the interaction of black and white. These images reflect shadows on walls or sidewalks, aerial views of winter prairie flights and even black and white photographs past and present.
The Lexan film allows a slightly translucent feeling that gives ambient light a chance to interact with the audience and the image. Whether on di-bond or clear acrylic panels these modules retain a sense of space and light. Open to interpretation they beg for closer inspection.
