Windows 1 Series (artist statement)

Artist Statement: Windows series 1 & 2

This work is symbolic of humanity and the portals of our hearts and minds.
Each image is an expression of a poem I wrote concerning these windows of our lives. In that writing the answer to the stated dilemma is that God will come, no matter what, and rescue any and all that cry out to him! Our windows will always be there yet how we look at or through them is continually changing.

In the Windows 1 series, the marks are layered together using watercolor pencil, watercolor crayon and acrylic paint on canvas or oil pastels and oil paint on board. In the Windows 2 series there is a single window in which modeling paste or sgraffito technique is employed to convey the personal and political turbulence within our society.
