“ Walking forwards while facing the past .” — Walter Benjamin ,
Angel History
My work operates on the seeing of beauty through the pathos . I realize this came to be , on looking at my work made , some time after the death of my only sister in 1989 .
Ties NM 37 , Encaustic on panel , 14 x 11 inches ,
Inspired by ties on the posts around Santa Fe & my thoughts of the hands that made them . I made a series of ink on paper drawings , which later found their way into my encaustic work .
