ABOUT THE ARTIST:
My art is motivated by a ravenous curiosity of the human experience. This art ‘spent in the pursuit of self,’ is inspired and informed by my own perspectives and experiences, but also by philosophical and anthropological studies of culture, and biographies of artists I admire.
Beyond nature, nurture, and the search for happiness, I still wonder how much of my ‘self’ isn’t already composed of the men and women from whom I descend. Who were they; where in the world did they live and how did this affect their dress, habits and livelihood? What were their crafts and what archetype might my relationship with craft come prescribed to? This curious compass is led by my spirit when it’s not distracted by sensory input, and my relationship with spirit comes with it’s own self examination: What is my history as a woman? What is my history as a man? What do I believe about recycling spirits? My process as an artist has morphed through numerous mediums organically as they lend themselves accordingly to this pursuit of self. Art, along with meditation, play and sex, are gifts to my spirit which grant access to all of my incarnations, past, present and future. |
