Searching for harmony in innocuous places, Karma allows herself to be guided by patterns that appear in each layer of wax beneath the surface of her works. The artist looks for inspiration in the areas of her paintings that would generally be appreciated only as background or texture, a part of the thing rather than the thing itself. By elevating these patterns, by making them more than a piece of the whole, Karma enters a new territory that plays perfect host to her artistic vision. She focuses on exploring the unknown.
She imbues her canvases with a sense of atmospheric light, an ethereal, almost achingly nostalgic sense of transcendence. That is quite rare in contemporary abstraction. The result is a work that is both beautiful and accessible.
