ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My current ongoing project focuses on bronze-age Greek hieroglyphs in which nude figures interact in various configurations with forgotten pre-Homeric sounds and words. The interactions of hieroglyphs and humans that I portray involve struggles with different power relationships; sometimes the humans, but usually the hieroglyphs, seem to have the upper hand. At the core of these struggles and confrontations is a quest to encounter and connect with forgotten words from forgotten languages that were spoken over millennia on the Greek peninsula and its islands.

Bringing Bronze Age Greek Hieroglyphes Back to Life In my current series of works I show interactions and struggles between human figures and ancient Greek (pre-Homeric) logograms, syllabograms, and hieroglyphs. The human figures in my works are all, in their own ways, making contact with forgotten words and meanings. We are facing a mass extinction of languages. Gone forever will be their words and their cultures. In my works I reach back through time in a search for the sounds and meanings we have lost. With image and color I try to reconnect with the forgotten words of my homeland.
