Artist statement
My narrative fictions reside where the grotesque meets the flamboyant, where hybrid beasts express human emotions and roam an Earth in the throes of ecological collapse. Employing sculpture, painting, drawing and assorted forms of printmaking, my vision is decidedly imagist and steeped in material exploration. / The works in this grouping were originally inspired by a trip to Bali and my discovery of the demon/goddess, Rangda. Embodiment of evil, the child-devouring witch is both revered and reviled – a sacred savage. Every account of Rangda is rife with contradiction. She is queen and wild woman, beauty and monster, mother and destroyer. Hags, like fetishes, harbor our social mores and personify our fears. But the caricatured representations of Lilith, La Llorona, Banshee and Baba Yaga, to name a few, suppress hidden power – a power I am interested in unearthing.
