"Hyo,
Hyo, Ipseh Nyo"
(Who Knows)
Medium: Textiles, Mixed Media, papier-mâché
forms
Size: 12' x 50 '' Creation on: |
I store hand made
papier-mâché' in stockings. They hang on my wall like strange
fruit harvest until I need them. Fellow Artist Linda McMurray saw
them in the raw one day and found them to be worthy of attention.
I saw the sculptural possibilities of them and started putting the
pieces together. I don't know what it is, but I like it.

"Four
Fat Ladies Havin ' Fun"
Medium: Acrylic on paper, mixed media
Size: 18" x 24"
Created at: 3:00 am |
I decided to empty my
mind of tension. With a paint Brush in each hand and Chaka Khan doing her
thing on a CD, I started slinging paint. I was literally dancing about. I
spied my glue gun idling and decided to experiment. This is the result. I
had the best time ever.

"Wisdom's
Daughter I"
Mama at the Lake
Medium: Acrylic on Paper
Size: 18" x 24" |
Mama and I were at the Lake.
She looked into the distance with her face toward the sun, and I saw a
painting. I asked permission to take her long hair out of its bun, and
then ran for my camera. She looked sage, and wise, and tenderly poignant
all at once.

"Island
Life"
Medium: Acrylic Washes on paper
Size: 16" x 20" |
This was a happy accident. I
looked under a piece that I was doing and found this marvelous mix of
colors on the underlying art paper. There was an island feel to it, and I
enhanced some of the darkest spaces to become two people. It looked better
than what I was working on. There's a lesson of not taking oneself too
seriously.
