artist statement
. . . . is a take on the Happy Meal, the proliferation of "McMansions" with a nod to Ibsen's Doll House his Nora and a "Trophy Wife" behind the door. And, above it all . . . angels escort the ascending and adored "Madonna/whore" with the infamous red-soled shoes of wealthy celebrities.
Our culture says "buy, indulge, pursue the symbols of success, wealth and beauty brought to you by constant imagery and advertising".
But, buyer beware. There is a dark side and a sur-prizing emptiness within.
