Upcoming exhibition, "Earth, Air, Water, Fire" inspired me to construct another Goddess Box. This one is called "Pele - Goddess of Fire", honoring the Hawaiian Goddess Pele after the recent eruptions on the Big Island in Hawaii.
I create these boxes out of leftover framing materials, found objects, materials, papers, yarns, jewelry elements - (I am a pack rat), and each box will have a piece of jewelry which matches the jewelry worn by the Goddess on the box top.
It is interesting to me to be asked "why" I do these creations....I often feel if I stuck to just one aspect of my art, I'd be really good at it....however, I'd be bored spitless, and probably my work would begin to bore the viewers as well. I am inspired by life - by other artists - by nature - learning new things. Often, my work takes on a life of it's own - I may start with an idea, but it develops while I work - sometimes taking complete left turns.
I like to interact with others - it usually makes me think about my viewpoints, perhaps altering them. I love to learn new (to me) things, from techniques, approaches, data about a wide variety of aspects of our existence. Enjoy the trip!
