One of the things I love best about abstract painting is its ambiguity.  Without the direction of an artist statement of some sort, the viewer can have no idea the artist’s source of catalyst, inspiration or proclamation.  These paintings by artist Anne Sherwood Pundyk originate from a string of images and moments in the artist’s mind.

There is an incredible amount of depth and energy to each piece, almost as if the artist can’t get that string of images out of her mind and onto the canvas fast enough.  But then each has a moment of rest, like a still frame shot of the motion picture moving from mind to canvas.  While each piece stems from specific imagery in the artist’s imagination, the ambiguity of the abstraction means its interpretation is left entirely to the viewer.  What you see is what you see.
