In "Searching," Diane Lynne Chanako recounts her own search for her next painting, realizing it was right in front of her eyes. She painted her daughter, who seemed engaged in a parallel state of mind: searching.
“When I saw her as an image of myself, I saw my painting. Sometimes that is how the concept of a painting happens, like the turn of a breath.”
“Searching” reflects not only the proximity of the artist’s observations, but also the greater universal search for internal, external, and spiritual answers.
