Homage

Homage

When I visited St. Margaret’s 12th century chapel in the Edinburgh Castle, it was a sacred place for me. So much so that I came back and visited it a second time. The sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows sending splashes of color on the rough hewn walls. It drew me in and I sat quietly. That was my first introduction to St. Margaret. 

I was so moved by my experience that I opted to visit another place where she had been: the Dunfermline Abbey, which was founded by St. Margaret. It is also where she was buried. I was not surprised that Dunfermline Abbey also felt sacred. 

This piece is created from two different perspectives of the interior of the Dunfermline Abbey Church, with its time-weathered columns and arches seeping with traces from the past.

Navigation

Navigation was created with a sheer overlay of an image of a compass, taken on a boat in Maine. The back layer is an archway at The Citadel, in Egypt. I sought to visually portray the reality of the unknown that lies ahead on the journey.

This piece was part of my solo exhibit entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum.

Anticipation

Anticipation is intended to evoke a sense of suspense and excitement as one journeys onward expectantly. The front overlay is of a cloudy sky in Pittsburgh, PA. The back layer is of a colonnade at the Rotunda on the grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9.

Elusive

Elusive is another attempt to visualize the vantage point of looking forward trying to see what lies ahead. The archway image was taken in an outdoor corridor at the Louvre in Paris and the tree image was taken at the Genessee Monastery in New York.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum, at 2nd April galerie's The View From Here show, and was shown in my two-person show entitled Sheer Obscurity, at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH.
