ARTIST STATEMENT
"Body Cells" is part of a body of encaustic panels originating from the set entitled "Snow and Grass." The statement for that set discusses some of the underlying ideas and methods in this one and the others.
In making this work, I became very interested in the composition of the cells that make every part of my body. They are invisible to the naked eye but ever-present, engaging the imagination. Cells are similar in form to the whole body, and to other things. They have layers, and inner and outer appearances. I explore my curiosity with them in this work, with the idea of an invisible thing that is so fundamentally me. |
