Lead on... 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. This piece was inspired by Guatemalan wooden sculptures of fantastical creatures which blew me away when I first saw them years ago, and which visit my work over and over again. Have you ever felt you were at a crossroads, lacking vision and unsure of which way to turn? Hopefully you are accompanied by someone or something who will help guide you in the right direction. If he/she/it looks like a cross between Central American folk art and Bosch then you are probably in good hands…
