Women Rising.
I’m pleased to introduce you to my new collection, Women Rising, which is hanging in Markings Gallery in Bath, Maine to commemorate Women's History Month. The pieces pay homage to inspirational female voices in the art world and the goddess queendom such as Frida Khalo, Georgia O'Keefe, and Celtic Goddesses- Elen of the Ways and Cora. It was a true joy to make these pieces and I hope you enjoy them!
-Con Vida- “There is nothing more precious than laughter.” -Frida Kahlo
-Lilith ~ Wise Liberator- “The Wild Woman within every woman who would rather become notorious than be refrained from bathing in the sea, howling at the moon, dancing in the forest, and making love to life itself. Lilith knows that it is only through setting your boundaries that you can set yourself free.” -Syma Kharal
-Georgia- “I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.” -Georgia O’Keefe
-Elen of the Ways ~ Path Weaver- “We are the Vision Bearers, Sowing seeds of time, Into tomorrow’s creation, Only a thought away.” -Sandra Pastorius
-The Alchemist- “She is a woman who has learned to spin straw into gold, Pull medicine from venom, and trim her lamp till no ill will can cause her steady light to waver.” -Christine Irving
-Cora ~ Serpent's Glyph- “We must awaken the artists inside us. We need them now to dream into being new ways, of trading and gathering, and growing and sowing, and seeding all kinds of wild new wonders." -Lena Moon
-Adorned- “Know you are your grandmother woven into another form.” -Sabina Jones
-Frida- “Why do I need feet when I have wings to fly?" -Frida Kahlo
-Frida II- “Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, Everything moves, Everything revolves.” -Frida Kahlo
“I work in the abstract. My artistic process is one of deconstructing, taking a concept and peeling apart its shell. When I arrive at the seed of the idea, I work with its essence as an expression from this freshly discovered, energetic space. My creative process is conversational and collaborative with the wool and embellishments. I see my role in the process as that of an interpreter whose job is to get her ego out of the way so that the piece can be birthed in the form it wants to take.”
Inspiration.
