The "Butcher" Series
Signs of life, evidences of
trace. Celebration of man and beast. This is the core of the 3 Beasts and 40
Bones Project. Our earliest story-tellers carved on clay walls or left remnants
of artifact of man and beast. They honored the animal through rituals of arts
and crafts. Once the season's plants and animals were harvested, toasts in bone
vessels were made. Feast and fest began.
The "Butcher"
Series captures the primitive and raw notions of our connection to animals
through food sources. The coral glow of marrow coupled with crimson stripes
evokes an odd kind of beauty. On one end, the thought of a bloody bone feels visceral.
But then...it transforms itself into casted glass, capturing the organic
fluidity of light.
I was especially inspired to
create this collection for the grand opening of the Bill the Butcher Edmonds,
WA location. Our values interweave. They believe in the art of celebrating the
animal through pride and passion in their work.
Thank you Bill the Butcher and Edmonds for a great exhibition!
