Searching for a way to develop cross cultural spiritualized imagery and applying it to current concerns in contemporary printmaking |
Searching for a way to develop cross cultural spiritualized imagery and
applying it to current concerns in contemporary printmaking, I am
driven to link historical and mythological iconography with the free
play of recent art discourse to seek less ambiguous continuity with
antiquity.The images of early Christianity, for example, are
profound. It is my intent to question the connection between the viewer
and my art, and to do so through the use of imagery used by many
cultures and belief systems. I have used my own interpretation of
religious accounts and incorporated that with astronomy, mythology, and
the images of the human figure to inquire about the source of early
religious and mythological images.It is my intent that
through this research, I will gain a fuller understanding of what the
early imagery was intended to represent. I find purpose in the act of
producing and integrating my understanding of imagery into a new
configuration. More specifically, I am interested in participating in
the history and the evolution of such imagery into cultural importance.
