About The Artwork

The multi-paneled painting depicts nine versions of the warrior heart. Overflowing their allotted spaces, each heart expresses an expansiveness that reaches outward rather than inward, a reflection of the requisite self-denial. Past scars and wounds mar the surface of each heart suggesting a history of demand, struggle and conflict. Contrasting dark and light coloring intimate the contested war between good and evil. As a unit, the nine panels display a singular focus to confront, an intent which does not permit distraction or surrender. Finally, the individual units render greater nuance, implying particular circumstances, demands, and responses. The warrior heart is a site of resistance. Not everyone has the warrior heart, in fact, probably, very few are natural born fighters. As Dutch Sheets, an apostolic, prophetic teacher, astutely writes, “Most people want someone else to do their fighting for them.” I plead guilty. Warrior hearts don’t know the meaning of ‘to quit’. That issue has been settled. As believers, our hearts should be represented in this collection. If there is a blank where our hearts belong but are absent from God’s collaborative endeavor, we will lose out, along with the world that we could have impacted. First, however, it will most likely require transformation of our hearts by the Holy Spirit.

Since retiring as a professor of art education from The Ohio State University in 2016, Sydney has returned to full-time artmaking. During her tenure as a professor, she researched and wrote extensively about the artmaking process, authoring the widely-read text, Teaching Meaning in Artmaking (2000), and, most recently, a work in process, Naming Play for Artmaking. These writings entertain strategies that inform her own artmaking practice, most particularly that of play as it involves chance, nonsense, and experimentation. Through this process, she draws together the disparate to bring forth new ways of thinking such as intertwining a playful aesthetic of oppositions with spiritual seriousness in her most recent work.
