ARTIST STATEMENT: My work investigates frontier science combined with symbolist figuration. My paintings on canvas with sanded surfaces are painted with acrylic containing mica, overlayed with oil and powered gold pigments, which visually and conceptually references illuminated manuscripts. Archetypes of the Earth and cosmological elements are depicted from a ecological feminist perspective. One premise is that we are part of the Earth and all the elements of our bodies at one time were within a star. We contain both systems within us. My art is informed by mythology and the hope for human evolution, in a wide variety of mediums. I’ve included quantum equations and diagrams by quantum physicist, Dr. Evan Harris Walker as sacred writing. In 1991 I met noted quantum physicist, Dr. Evan Harris Walker. We exchanged ideas on the reality or non-reality of “space-time” and on his innovative theories concerning the relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness that lasted until his death in 2006. These equations function as design elements and refer to the interconnectivity of everything and the relationship of time to space.
