Extended Profile
My recent works depict crows and ravens continuing my interest in using birds as a metaphor for life experience. My use of birds and nests began in AVES my 2002 exhibition to explore early motherhood. Some of the new paintings have accompanied a museum display about West Nile disease and continue my interest in memorial and the relationship between art and science.
Paintings combine the crow and raven, floral arrangements, weather patterns, textile fragments, and references to past civilizations. The images are interwoven on the canvas, appearing much like a collage of images although they are painted in oil and acrylic. Weather patterns denote devastation. Flowers add a long standing symbol of memorial while the textile fragments come from scarves or pieces of cloth of personal significance. The combinationof these elements is meant to offer a compelling homage to the common crow and raven.
