Chained
Conceived as both light and dark, grotesque and yet beautiful, the versions of each creature form a dialogue with one another, much as in the alterations of the ego. Translating the sub-conscious into color, form and imagery, these creatures, tied to mythology, manifest both anthropomorphism and dehumanization, while revealing my attraction to the visual details of anatomy, bones, skeletal, and muscular makeup.
A Wendigo, 2020 is a legendary evil spirit, and yet the creature in Chained, 2020 seems to be victimized. Restrained at the ankle, its body, particularly the upper torso, feels constricted and bound, but antlers, like arms, are open and spread wide, making its appearance vulnerable. Looking upward toward the heavens, and showered by light and goodness, it is shackled and trapped inside the earth image. The yin and yang speak to inner conflicts, open / closed, vulnerable / guarded, cherished / abhorred.
