Artist Statement:
The tragedy of 9/11 and the
sequence of events that have
occurred since then has
greatly altered my work. I
have spent the past ten years
working with the image of the
human form but found that I
could no longer find the
meaning that I needed with the
imagery. I can no longer go
into my studio without being
aware of the constant threat
and anxiety in which we find
ourselves today. The world is
very different than it was
prior to that "event" and I as
an artist must reflect that
change.
My work right now is exploring
metaphors for safety and
endurance. Looking back to
simpler times I became very
interested in the spiritual
aspects associated with rocks
and stones and how they have
been associated with building
and strength throughout
history. Creating symbolic
dwellings with "safe" interior
spaces has provided me with a
process to visually give form
to the duality of our
existence. Somehow we must be
able to work with this
tension, and be transformed to
a higher level of
existence....
