SANCTUM
Rouge Gallery, Saskatoon (May29-June 12)
Visualizing the most sacred of moments can be sombre or macabre, as in Claude Monet’s painting of Camille, his wife, on her death bed and Leonardo Davinci carving up and drawing cadavers in secret, in the basement of the sanatorium.
The depiction of life after death could be thought of as fantasy, where one’s own muse gets caught up in the lyrical aspects of the sacred place, where one life form transcends to another.
The forensic nature of my latest work, place the natural elements of the prairie in proximity to man’s involvement. Sometimes raw, the sardonic beauty of this subject matter attaches it's self to our own human condition, cutting though the flesh to the bone. Each of us is impacting the world with our footprint, with more change happening in the last 50 years than ever before.
