Artist Statement:
My current work is influenced by the vast archeological, mythological, and anthropomorphic history of our civilization when the feminine was synonymous with earth, nature and the cycles of life.
This inspiration is drawn from the earliest existing depictions of the feminine forms as found in ancient worlds of the Near East and Old Europe, during Neolithic, Paleolithic and later periods of our ancient civilization. In these images, reflections, plane shifts, layering, masks and other symbols contribute to the perceived ambiguity of the seen and unseen.
