I am an Artist...

And so, I must be able to create, to thrive, to have freedom in my day. My hands must be busy: making, working, doing---not idle and stagnant. My body must be moving, working hard to create inspiration and beauty. My work flows freely when my mind & body & spirit flow freely. I am an Artist.

DRESS FORMS: SALVAGING FEMALE ARCHETYPES

Materials give me the first visual imagery from which I work. These materials give me an initial conceptual impression; this is the beginning of my process. From there, the Art takes off in directions that I don’t have much control over.

As I work I am guided by the images that develop from working with the chosen materials. As I combine and test these various materials I am able to understand how to create the form and how the piece will come together technically.There is a learning experience that comes with each part of the process. I don’t focus on the initial conceptual element as I work, I trust the materials and my instinct with how they come together. I think it is this somewhat detached mode of working that allows the piece to evolve without expectations or judgment on my part.

Each segment of the garment is a separate piece, a unique process unto itself, eventually they come together to make a cohesive form. I continue working until the flow of it stops. At this point I allow it to rest and sit; then further inspiration comes. I cannot force the materials.I see the final piece as though I am a viewer, detached from just having created it. At this point I am able to make personal connections with the work and see what came through my hands.

I see these dress forms as individuals that hold within them my personal experiences and emotions.This body of work surprises me, it often shocks and frightens me, but when I finish each one and see it as a completed piece; I know that this is my work.
