"Body of Work" Series

ARTIST STATEMENT:

“Body of Work” incorporates images from a series of medical tests I underwent over a brief period of time.  Included are images from a routine eye exam, a hand x-ray, mammogram, ultrasound, and bone density test.

 

            The images suggested beaded and digital pieces to me that could be viewed in a more interesting context.  Two pieces are woven of glass beads while the remaining pieces are made from computer manipulated digital prints on fabrics.

 

            I have been drawn to the abstract nature of these images or the abstract nature I could create by repeating or manipulating the images whole or in part.  “Body of Work” is the result of my efforts to show the inner me.
