| International award winner for mixed media artwork, Upstream People Gallery 2005 ***** Here is the quote to go with this work: “The Soul is tied to no individual, no culture, no tradition, but rises fresh in every person, beyond every person, and grounds itself in a truth and glory that bows to nothing in the world of time and place and history. We all must be, and can only be, “A light unto ourselves.” ~ Emerson *** The Dream State Series started out of my need to understand my inner voice. I can hear it, beating a steady back-beat in my mind. I can feel it in my feet when I am dancing, creating; when I am breathing fire. I closed my eyes and grabbed a handful of plaster, and this is what happened. First I sculpted her face on top of the canvas and let that dry for a couple of days. While the plaster was still wet I embedded vintage lace into it in the background. Then I used more found objects, feathers, costume jewelry, and oil paints. Surrounding her face is 2.5 inches of thick black feathers, they stand out from the canvas/background and move freely in the air currents, so she seems to be always moving. She is also wearing a ceremonial crown of sorts of pearl shaped, stainless steel beads and crystals (found objects). I glazed her face several times with layers of thin, transparent color (earth reds, gold and bronze powders) so she glows in the light, her skin is lightly textured; deeply rich in color and tone. This work is a painting and a hanging wall sculpture, and it’s sure to be a conversation starter. This painting placed in the top five in an International Mixed Media Event, in 2005. Waking the Soul Power is the face that I have given to my inner voice. I guess my inner voice is a dark skinned, tribal warrior woman. That works for me. What does the face of your inner voice look like? |
