ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Sisyphus is condemned to spend eternity in the underworld pushing a stone up a hill, only to have it roll back to the bottom. Greek mythology is really about everything. The stories are always timely - no matter what the time - because they deal with the fundamental truths of human nature. Years ago, I started working to capture some of these inspiring sagas in dance, video and photography. However, as my photographs began to increasingly resemble drawings, I decided that it was time to return to my drawing practice. The drawings in the series follow two main themes: “Tears” and “Stones”, with the addition of some studies of poems. “Tears” depicts weeping characters who have fallen on evil times and have much to mourn. “Stones” allude to the various stones that play critical roles in some of the stories. The drawings are created by sketching the main action in pencil, followed by several layers of pastel and charcoal, and finished with pencil renderings of the designs and striations that mimic those found on Greek statuary and painted objects.

Christy Walsh began her artistic life on the stage with her grandmother’s musical theater company, and this theatricality is evident in all of her work. She uses a variety of disciplines including: dance, video, and photography, to tell stories. She creates imaginary worlds where characters and settings are rooted in the familiar, but are removed from reality. Her creations are made up of dense layers of images and media that explore such disparate things as physics, philosophy, and history in a dramatic fashion.
