“ARTIST STATEMENT”
“Epiphanies” is a series of painted low relief sculptures with inlaid beadwork. I first design each piece, and cut the basic shape out with a jigsaw before I carve my design into the basswood and paint the surface in multiple layers, all the while working on the beadwork which I add sometime in the painting stage. Each of the medium-sized pieces took about a week.
I’ve always loved symmetry, especially imperfect symmetry where carved pattern is revealed and then lost but still the intention of the pattern remains. I also love the shape of the equilateral cross with its reference to life and death; arm-stretching cosmic hugs; whirligigs and flowers with stillness at their centres; the crucifixion and the flowering resurrection. My friend and I were talking about the small epiphanies of childhood–instances when we sensed an invitation from God: the comfort and mystery of a statue of Virgin and Child on a well-frequented path; wind animating the tops of trees; a song about the magi breaking into a child’s sad night. As I do these small dense painted carvings, I realize they represent hints of hope; modest epiphanies. They allude to those moments that happen in the blink of an eye, brief and easily missed but if you manage to pay attention, life-changing.
