About The Artwork

Burns and watercolor on Japanese paper. The Garden of Joy seeks to unite Western and Muslim, man and woman, nature and ideation, Thanatos and Eros in an ecstatic act of drawing.An ancient map of Rome forms the fabled ground for this encounter between Near East and West. The Tiber waters the monumental lovers like a gardener, and they sprout blossoms, fruit, and wings from all orifices. The key to this map is a famous Clark Gable quote from Gone With The Wind, “You should be kissed often, and by someone who knows how.”

Think of me as a visual Jungian. For over a decade my work has explored identity as a varied and hybrid representation, centralizing the figure as the site where myths, archetypes, and histories from different communal fonts collide. Most recently I am preoccupied with the Philosopher’s Stone archetype. Alchemists called the furnaces or ovens in which base matter was transmuted into gold the “House of the Chick” and “the womb”. This play of words intrigued me, imagining the liminal undomesticated body of the bride as a site of distortion, heat, pressure, and transformation. I began the series by distorting images of the bride using mirrors, reflections, and collaged materials. I set these experiments up in the studio and paint. Each is a liminal imago– dissolving and coming into focus all at once. Formally, I think of these as Cubism 3.0– engaging aspects of Analytical and Synthetic Cubism through a feminist lens and a nod to Pop. Injecting the patriarchal formalism of that seminal movement with mythic content. Reimagining the female form and her historic erasure as the actual source of value and meaning.
