| Every piece in it's making is an elaboration
on a poetic theme using universal elements unhindered by specific
cultural markings. They employ other aspects from classical
Iconography like color coding. Red for passions and fertility;
Blue for water, sky or the subconscious; Green for Earth, growth,
instinct; Yellow for contentment and fire. Symbols from geometry
and numbers like: Spirals for activity and the ethereal; Circles
for completeness and unity. In each work, but for two, the basic
design is a single line that is continuous. This is one of the
more profound elements of all of the poetry. One takes a journey
and hopes to arrive back home again a little healthier, wealthier,
and wiser than when they first set out. This is what enjoying
a piece of art should be like. |
Who's Infinity
| "Who's Infinity" is
a tribute to 9/11. It is a statement on the farce of religious
wars. This piece has the honor of being one of only two pieces
in the artist's entire body of work that has a negative air.
Both are a response to the same subject. |
Wings
| "Wings" is another
portrait of a potent, dignified spirit with passion in the eye
and heart. An exploration in the use of wings as a symbol for
potency. |
The Pearl
Ball Flower
Elated
Eve
| "Eve" is a remake
of the Pre Historic stone carved female "Venus" figures
of ample proportions rendered in the purest form of the artists
unique vocabulary of form, color, and design. A search for a
universal symbol for an aspect of womanhood. |
Golden Thought
| "Golden Thought" employs
a simple circular motif to symbolize the integrity of spirit.
It is a specific motif for a paradox. Is this contented spirit
burning to live or living to burn. Passion in contained in it's
extremities. It is yellow for fire and joy. The theme of joy
was heightened with the fluidity and movement of the line. Eight
is the number of circles in the design itself to denote the
eight guards of Bridgit which were inherited from goddesses
before her. Their number were to insure protection from each
direction of the four winds and those in-between. |
Heart Chalice with Ring
| "Heart Chalice With Ring"
had it's poetry written into it's title. |
Mama Mu II
| "Mama Mu II" is a
portrait of healthy collaboration. 2 knots woven together with
an air of content and dignity. Cyclical continuity. The pentagon
of strength. A balanced mix of female and male gender symbols.
It is a tribute to friends who began a new endeavor. |
Phoenix Bust
|
The three different Phoenix motifs are based
on the same theme. The phoenix is a powerful female symbol.
The Phoenix has always been a she. The Phoenix was condemned
by the gods to die with each sunset and birth with each sunrise
for having stolen the pearl of wisdom. She births from her
own ashes. Births from fire. She is crowned, hallowed, by
the artist for having kept the pearl. It was hard earned.
She was twice dammed for it. Once for stealing it when it
was forbidden to her and secondly, she must live with the
burden of the knowledge. The Phoenix was used as a symbol
for a queen in the Orient. Yellow was also an Oriental symbolic
color for Royalty. There was a time when you could actually
be killed for wearing it. This phoenix weaves a world around
her with the movement of her body. The font on her head was
taken from history. It is found in Pre Christian Celtic and
Nordic decoration. The Christians used the flaming font to
portray someone in possession of the Holy Spirit. It is here
employed to indicate the furious effect spirited thoughts
have on the life one creates around oneself.

La Meditazione
|
"La Meditazione" The Meditation
is a person sitting and thinking. It could have been named
"The Thinker" but that name was already taken. The
thinker is muddy earth tones and the thoughts are translucent
spectral colors symbolizing joy and gravity.
