objective |
|
|
| |
Over the past ten years the content in my work has been influenced by many elements that are vast, varied, and personal. I see it as an expression of life's inherent duality and instability.
There are contradictions of; anxiety and humor, good and evil. The humor and color play an important role in contrast to the sometimes screaming pieces. Much like the Balinese Barong dance of good versus evil . The character Im drawn to most is Rangda, Queen of the Leyaks. A bloodthirsty, child-eating, witch-widow mistress of black magic. She is feared and nasty but is portrayed and acts in a comical way. Its like you cant see the light without the dark. Or as Rabindranath Tagore, the well known poet from India says, truth in her dress finds facts too tight, in fiction she moves with ease. |
