ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Greek stories play a central role in our understanding of ourselves, and humans born into Western culture. They start with an amazing creation mythology and continue through Homer’s famous accounts of the Trojan War. Tragedies and comedies, as well as artworks, are inspired by the characters first introduced by the ancient Greeks. I have been reading and re-reading Giorgios Seferis’s treatment of the stories, as well as returning to Homer and have worked to capture some of these inspiring sagas in dance, drawing, photography and painting. This specific series of drawings emerged from experiments with layers of pastels, charcoal and pencil on paper.

Christy Walsh began her artistic life on the stage with her grandmother’s musical theater company, and this theatricality is evident in all of her work. She uses a variety of disciplines including: dance, video, and photography, to tell stories. She creates imaginary worlds where characters and settings are rooted in the familiar, but are removed from reality. Her creations are made up of dense layers of images and media that explore such disparate things as physics, philosophy, and history in a dramatic fashion.
