new works in VT


New works are currently showing in Manchester VT until January 3rd at the Southern VT Art Center. A lovely place to show works in a town that supports the arts. This body of work is the result of two years of trying every medium I have ever worked in. I was trying to translate the dress in a meaningful manner. I am using the dress as a symbol of the impermanence of life. This one image is a photograph of the 1880's lace dress printed on a sheet of music. Appropriately the show's title is "Dance me to the end of Love". People often ask me why music appears so frequently in my work. I can only say the I love and work to music as most artists do. I do not play any instrument but am a life long devotee of all kinds of music. Dancing has also been a large part of my life so I thought the title appropriate for this show.
