TERRA SISTERS
These are my environmental anti-bodies of sorts. Inspired by the Chinese “Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses”, Egyptian ushabti, and even Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls, I see these as my personal warriors, for the earth, for the accumulated assaults on the delicate bodies of the living, to the deformed and mistreated, they are defenders for each of us. Their images come from other sources, which I start with as reference and then evolve and combine, into a new context. I do this because I think we can recognize the potential in all of us to become this great protectors and defenders.
