Blank Spaces, 2025 - Original Painting

Blank Spaces is a quiet meditation on absence, memory, and emotional residue. Rendered in gouache and colored pencil, the work suggests a domestic interior that feels partially inhabited—forms are present but softened, drifting at the edge of clarity. Chairs, walls, and fragments of space emerge gently, as if recalled rather than observed, suspended between what is known and what has faded.

The restrained palette of blush pinks, pale blues, and warm washes evokes tenderness and calm, while the looseness of line and areas left unfinished introduce a subtle tension. These “blank spaces” become active participants in the composition, holding hesitation, doubt, and the unspoken. In alignment with Katherine’s broader practice, the piece reflects an inner world rich in softness and tranquility, quietly juxtaposed with uncertainty—where emptiness is not void, but room to feel, to question, and to exist without resolution.
