Seraphine Pick..response?

In watching the documentary about New Zealand artist Seraphine Pick, I found her a very interesting person. She comes across as someone with a deep, emotional kind of sixth sense. Her fascination with creating a work based on the idea of taking the thoughts within someones mind and making them visual seems to be the main concept of her work. Its a kind of phsycological type of painting. Her style varies a lot from painting to painting and it seems like the figures just come out of another figure. No work seems to be the same yet, they connect somehow when you bring them together. I guess its because of that idea or theme (?) throughout her works. She focuses more on the painting itself than by images and concepts.. using a scrapbook of random images and combining them to form a base for her painting. The power within an image is still a big part of her work though. The fact that an image can stick in your mind so you carry it for the rest of your life is intreging. Recognition of a work or really, the experiences we call upon give the image that power. Seraphine stated that she feels her works are not really, theoratically speaking, hers, beacuse we as the viewers create the feeling within the work with recognition of memories and experiences.. the painting then just seems to appear.. I love how she keeps a scrapbook of images that she likes, I guess in a way she finds them interesting because of the memories she sees within them. So her works are based on pictures belonging to someone elses experiences and then her interpretation of them draw on others experiences. The confusing cycle goes on.. I think I'm going to continue saving images I like, just for the sake of trying to figure out why I like them..
