"Women Afoot" March 2014
My
work ‘ breathe’ is about my experience, but also that of many other women in
today’s society. The fast pace of life in which we live, the expectations and
pressures that weigh upon us speak of a need to stop, take a breath and to remember the simple joys
in the everyday.
This work is created in paper made from the layered trunk of
the banana plant. We as women are also very layered: in our thoughts, emotions,
conscience, experiences, memory, skin and in so many other ways, and this is
reflected in the layering of paper within the work. Like women, the paper is
also fragile yet strong. Lights are included within the work to highlight the
breath and beauty that comes from within. In this piece I have tried to
incorporate my values and general philosophy.To
this end I have made every effort to use natural and sustainable materials and
to remain as honest and real as I could be.
