It was easy to spot the family resemblance... Sculpture

Over the years I’ve worked in different media (viscosity etching, collography, monotype, collage, oil and acrylic painting, soft sculpture). I’ve also moved a lot due to my husband’s job, and living in different parts of the world has afforded me the privilege of observing people from diverse cultures and detecting the common strands that make us more similar than different deep down inside. I’ve had the luck to wander for hours in great museums where, among the huge range of treasures offered, I’ve always been pulled to the works which offer a richness of narrative, composition, color. In the craft markets of Central America, the country churches of Sweden, and by the road-side altars of Patagonia the strings of my heart and mind have been pulled by the ingenious visual imagination of the artisans whose jobs involve imparting stories and legends to a wider public. Sitting in the metro in Paris my glance settles on a stranger’s face and I perceive the thread of a tale about our human condition. There came a point where these nuggets of visual treasure and the attributes of the various media in which I have worked came together into a stylistic amalgam- today I am a painter/sculptor/illustrator/textile artist/stage designer all rolled into one. My cousin and I went through boxes of family heirlooms and photos this past spring. She offered me a pile of old lace and ribbons, caps and aprons, and comically huge and outdated undergarments. I was immediately inspired to revive these items, so imbued with personal life, in my own artwork, and this piece is one family-oriented result. The lace used throughout the piece, especially in the hair of the characters, is from that sorting reminiscence.
