Artist Statement: |
|
I seek to explore
themes of childhood, religion and mysticism. My paintings, both in oil
paint and fabric, focus primarily on the doll as subject. I use
children’s toys, art history, and landscape references to create
images that are about identity development, rites of passage, and the
longing for divine revelation. Recently, I have begun to explore
quilting and embroidery processes in my work because of my interest in
their warmth and flexibility, as well as the surprising relationship
that hand-quilting has to my painting practice. This media introduces
a new discourse on comfort and craft into my existing conversation |
