ARTIST'S STATEMENT |
||
| For the past several years, my paintings have featured animals in imaginary landscapes. I adapted these creatures from historical forms first encountered in my travels, in medieval stonework, manuscripts, and other museum artifacts. Populating scenes with assorted beasts has opened up rich possibilities for narrative and for metaphor, as in 3 recent solo exhibitions exploring themes of war and peace, Paradise and the Fall. Current studio projects involve my collaborator of 20 years, writer (and fellow University of Utah professor) Katharine Coles. We are composing a bestiary of image and text, our response to the Byzantine mosaics of Venice, Ravenna, and Istanbul. | ||
