Abstract image of Medusa. Images arise around death, mourning, widows, black veils, women in the Middle East, mysteries and deep dark secrets. Examples of leather jackets, rebels, black armbands, oppression, black sheep and domination found in our society. Impressions of the midnight sky, black cats, witches, magic and rituals unfold.
My art challenges our concepts about what is traditionally considered utilitarian as opposed to decorative and what is masculine versus feminine. This black series investigates gender roles, class structure, and stereotypes as determined by the dominant society.
