This artwork is about survival, no matter the era, and the extreme maneuvers that so many people have had to undertake in order to keep body and soul as one. It’s about the stories we’re told by our governments, who always claim that their mandate is to operate in our best interests, yet everywhere in society we see scores of examples where the opposite is true. This piece is about keeping a blind eye to the downtrodden, underprivileged, invisible majority of citizens who hover at the poverty line while governments enable the rich to thrive. Symbolically, I wish to show that even in this age more and more citizens are out there on a limb, using every desperate measure available to attract their proverbial slice of the economic pie. There is no safety net to protect them or to break their fall. They don’t know better than to risk their lives for a false promise which keeps them hopeful and blind to another reality. (I wish to thank John Dominis for the inspiration provided by his photograph of aerialist, Betty Fox skipping rope twenty stories above downtown Chicago in 1955).

My young experiences made it easy for me to identify with the underdog, and to constantly question and attempt to make sense of the world we live in. Theatre does the same with its depictions of the alienated, the undervalued and the misunderstood. Theatre questions the status quo, and prompts the audience to look inside themselves for answers. By using the theme of theatre in my artwork, I am provided with a platform to express my affinity with so many of the sentiments and moral challenges presented on the stage. Collage and mixed media techniques allow me to be experimental and to work in an intuitive fashion. Every piece of art that I create is a combination of my inspirations, my life experience and my subconscious mind. My focus on the theatre helps me to identify and clarify in my creative pieces exactly what it is I care about in this world.
