Artist Statement

I fell in love with Renaissance art.Then I fell in love with icons...all kinds of icons from religious to comic. What’s happening? Where is the relationship? This installation is the delight in finding that relationship. Piero della Francesca’s elegant geometry and Olive Oyl’s awkward angles. Boticelli’s allegories and Our Lady of Guadalupe’s mysticism. Mantegna’s hard-edged monumentality and the bigger than life, tough Dick Tracy. All awake us to the ancient with us today. Nothing is lost, just layered.
