*1956 American
Series Transmigration
Nightgowns, water, earth and air have become enduring visual metaphors in my
work. Specifically, nightgowns represent the soul, while water, earth and
air act as vehicles for travel onto the next plane of physical existence or
to a higher level of consciousness.
Through the Transmigration series I have endeavored to capture and create
images that evoke senses of mystery and fate, relying less on the
supernatural and more on the metaphysical.
Always attracted to the dreamy, eerie and disturbing, my desire is for viewers to react to Transmigration with anxiety, tension and puzzlement, ultimately surrendering to feelings of hope, peace and serenity.
As an ongoing series, there is no end in sight for Transmigration.
