About The Artwork

The Story of Belle & Darling: The trapeze sisters were born Rachel and Edith. They are three generations removed from the fairy folk. Due to the barrage of fertilizers and pesticides, each generation has grown in size. The sisters could no longer hide in the forest. They were adopted by a family of trapeze artists looking for ways to update their act. They were given new names from the story of Peter Pan. The older sister is Darling named after Wendy, mother to Peter. Darling is considered the prettier of the two. Her younger skinnier sister is Belle, as in Tinkerbell, who can fly higher than humanly imaginable. It helps that they both have the distinct advantage of built-in wings. They are fiercely competitive with one another; they are also best friends. It’s not unusual to find the sisters buzzing around the giraffe, playing hide and seek. ---- Belle & Darling is a duo sculpture piece from the Ancients Unearthed collection. Created out of aqua resin, duo matrix neo and acrylic, the pieces are embellished with sequins and hang by ribbon, each held from a sculpture mold of the artist's hands.

Creating art allows me to indulge in intense intimacy while exploring my independent ideas and ideals. I’m fascinated with the chemistry of humankind and nature, with a particular affinity for metal (or metallic) and wood, approaching a subject with the aged patina intact. Being a self-taught artist, I can’t hide behind technique. I strive to be an honest and emotional storyteller, albeit naive. The intimacy of my sculptural portraits derives from the fact that they are unapologetically flawed. The avalanche of texture does not attempt to hide inconsistencies, but rather a wabi-sabi tribute— seeing the beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. The portrait is both model and message— a statement of belonging and intention made visible. Whether it is man, animal or mythological creature, the viewer is engaged in cross cultural dialogue. Art is where all paths converge, and improbable connection made possible.
