Electronic Madonna makes her debut! This is a big girl with a big message. With this piece I wanted to consider those things we do in an attempt to be human. As this figure came to life, so to speak, on the canvas, it struck me that she seems to be almost desperate in her quest. Instead of holding pearls or a rosary, this woman holds Mardi Gras beads. Not as elegant as pearls, but just as loaded with symbolism. For example, their colors are important. Purple represents justice, green represents faith, and gold represents power. Three worthwhile concepts that should be held close. They could even be said to be the basis of her religion. They are also plastic. This means obviously that they are cheap, but plasticity can mean several things. On a positive note, it implies flexibility. On the other hand, however, plastic objects are considered to be fake, artificial and even insensitive. All of these attributes can be applied likewise to the Madonna. Beads are, of course, decorative. When this idea is carried to the extreme, they can be symbolic of one’s need to please others or to strive for perfection. What then does it say that she is holding a handful of them?

I am currently working on a series titled, "I Just Don't Read Like I Used To," in which I cut text from classic literature to create characters, authors and others. It is a commentary on the many ways technology and pop culture have impacted our relationship with books.
