WHAT'S BRED IN THE BONE
Solar Plate Etching
This etching is one of two in PRINTWORK ’10, a national show on view at Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie, NY through August 19th. Entries were juried by Ashley Miller, PhD, from the Department of 19th Century, Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
This particular piece was inspired by my 5-week residence in Florence, Italy back in August of 2001, and incorporates my fascination with their Museum of Paleontology. Wendy, my childhood friend, appears once again; her essence here, one of shadow, representing an unconscious element that harbors memory from not only this life, but past and future as well. Through an evolutionary transformation, she sprouts the skeletal form of hand/wing, as she transcends the physical in her desire to experience a higher spiritual plane.
