"Checkpoints and Revisions: Suzanne Klotz"
2003-08-08 until 2003-09-20
Chandler Center for the Arts
Chandler, AZ, USA United States of America

The Chandler Center for the Arts shows works by Suzanne Klotz in the exhibition entitled "Checkpoints and Revisions". Klotz work incorporates functional household appliances and cleaning products, symbolic of the beliefs and attitudes prevalent in western societies. The concepts address contemporary attitudes towards gender roles, marriage, materialism, global social and economic disparity and the invisible lines that define borders.

"My three-dimensional work reflects the values and concerns of segments of the world society, many driven by the myth of ownership and the illusion of separation. It incorporates commercial American domestic products that represent an allegiance to the concept of "ownership" and the illusion of personal and social separation. An underlying theme in my work is the chimeras and false sense of security created by attachment to self and the material world. Examples include the belief in invisible lines for defining borders, gender identification for determining economic value and the use of labels to create group identities for individuals. "

"The inspiration for the beaded, embroidered and painted canvases originated from investigating the similarities between the spiritual teachings of various religions. Each painting represents a spiritual quality or mystery addressed in the religious Writings."

"Art reflects the values of the society that produces it and bridges the divide between the familiar and the unfamiliar. The creative process and product have the power to elevate consciousness, encourage investigation of truth and assist in the advancement of a unified world society. "
