“Emmanuel” a body of work by artist Kristen Rinnovatore
gallery opening: 7pm-10pm
117 S. West Street
Raleigh, NC 27601
I am a graduate student in applied mathematics, an artist, and a believer. My work is a pursuit of truth. For years, I have been working in traditional mediums and found my art was lacking value. One year ago, I found Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP), a math software used to create figures used for presentations, proofs and mathematics education. I realized that this rudimentary software, although painstaking and time-consuming, opened the door to my creative expression.
Through experimenting with unorthodox mediums, such as GSP and candle wax, I have reached a place where I feel I am accurately rendering the truth inside me. In my art, I speak about a powerful fire inside all of us- a burning passion to love, serve, and commune with each other. My fire has been awakened by God through mathematics and art. This opportunity to share my work with Raleigh and with you is another testament to the immense blessings in my life, and further fuels me to humbly use my gifts to go forth and love the world.
