Nature Inside Out
Recent Watercolors by Helen Klebesadel


It is not half so important to know as to feel. -Rachel Carson

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I
want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they
have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. -
Georgia O'Keeffe

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. -Frank Lloyd Wright


Some of my family members have commented that I seem to be deeply influenced by the
large rose wallpaper that covered the walls in the rural Wisconsin farmhouse where I was
raised. It is true that I am endlessly fascinated by the everyday wonders of nature as well as
by the many ways humans have of bringing representations of nature into our lived
environments.
This exhibition is a part of a longer journey that is a search for the core of our human
connection to nature. It is a journey "from the inside out," that considers how our emotional
connections to nature can be born through aesthetic sensibilities. I use my artist’’s eye to
note and document the fleeting miracles of the everyday. Aesthetic encounters that
connect viewers with the sensual essence of nature can be a potent means of promoting a
sense of care for the natural world. While the deepest connections are developed through
direct contact with nature, art can evoke the desire for more or recall past experiences of
awe.
My visual concerns run the gamut from careful study to poetic, symbolic and sometimes
political representations of nature. As a gardener I can be caught contemplating a single
flower until time is lost, knowing the opportunity for study is fleeting. Wallflowers and related
works in this exhibition echo the abundance of this year’’s summer garden and document my
times of careful looking and meditation on the transient vulnerability of beauty, life, and
nature. These ‘‘wallpapers’’ create opportunities to consider the metaphor of fragile strength.

Increasingly, for many in our culture, nature has become an abstract concept. We have
become divorced from direct contact with the natural environment unless it intruded upon us
in the form of weather or its consequences. In the still live paintings included in the exhibition I
work with well established artistic conventions, and try to twist them to my own ends. Still life
has a long history of symbolic representation of nature to comment on the human condition.
My still lives juxtapose decorative and living nature in domestic settings as I try to find a way
to represent bringing ‘‘real’’ nature inside. Living nature will not acquiesce to abstraction.
What does it mean that we cover our walls, our clothes, and our personal environments with
representations of nature? How is it we are drawn to representations of nature but seem to be
moving farther and farther from understanding ourselves as a part of nature; of knowing
where our food, air, and water comes from; and of being responsible stewards for the earth?
Perhaps art can lead us back to nature.

Hand Made: Watercolors
by Helen Klebesadel

My mother crocheted hot pads in the shape of fish and flowers and my
father could make magic with wood. My grandmother could make anything out of cloth and thread. I would point to a dress in an advertisement and she would make it with patterns she cut out of newspapers. She was amazing. She taught me how to hem with black thread on white cloth so the stitch didn?t show. She had learned this from her mother. My earliest memory of my great grandmother (when she was 98) was looking at the crocheted tablecloth she had made and watching her work on a crazy quilt.
When I was growing up wearing or decorating your home with anything
home made not was ?not cool?. I thought having things that I or
someone else made was wonderful but I realized many people thought it
meant we couldn?t afford to buy new. They were correct.
I no longer do much needlework. I'm not patient enough to do it, but
I have the patience and pasion to paint. These paintings are tributes
to the women whose art I didn?t know should be called art. I know now
the space they made in their laps with their needlework was a place
where they created the same kind of ?flow? that I experience when I am
immersed in my painting.
Time has changed. We don?t seem to have as much now. It is a signal of status to be able to purchase one of a kind hand-made items, but few
of us make any kind of art or craft. It is our loss. There is nothing
better than giving yourself the time to make, and create, and to share
your creations with your community. There are artists reclaiming these art forms all around us. These watercolors honor them and the artists
who taught me.
