ARTIST STATEMENT

This work is a study, an exploration of power, of patterns and sensuality. The viewer is challenged to draw from religion [Altars and Magdalene], mythology [Venus] and Italian Renaissance master painters [Botticelli's Birth of Venus]. I have updated these with fractal tattoos, detached sensuality other-worldly color palette. To be art, it must be new; new process, new techniques married to a new approach, new ideas or a new presentation for the viewer. It must be multi-layered so the viewer works at it for a while, exploring deeper…This work is high resolution manipulated photography, printed on metallic paper on the back side of clear plexiglas to make it even more mysterious and inaccessible. The viewer feels familiarity with each image - places seen before, figures and dream worlds recognized.
