“Transitions”

The work in this exhibition is a rare glimpse into the transition of process, concept and form in my work. Looking for new ways of communicating complex messages has led me to an exploration of various forms and styles. This explorative and transitionary period has led me to a study of elegance. Using the concepts of subtraction, seduction, symmetry and sustainability has led me to a style that is provocative and engaging. Currently, I am using this technique to expound upon the impermanent and transient nature of self. There is a great amount of tension between the body as a beautiful, physically present, product of history and the body as a fleeting and temporary existence. While working with this theme of impermanence the tragedy in Haiti struck adding sobering poignancy to the motif. We have to be able to see with eyes focused on our beautiful physical reality as well as the elusive elegance of our mortality.
