Forbidden Fruit is a series of work from the1990's. These are personal pieces executed in the vocabulary of the studio artist, then torn up and reassembled into lyrical visual poems. The nudes are from life drawings; the still life elements, the flowers and fruit, were all culled from the farmer's market and flower shops in San Francisco. The posters and collage elements were documents torn from my life and archcives. By using these intimate techniques and materials I was best able to examine the immediate themes of the nature of the fall from grace and what is forbidden. Aspects of food and sleep, sex, sin, jealousy, faith and redemption, fame and success, death and rebirth were on my mind. These plastic visual poems combined the tradtional painterly techniques with ideas from years of work in photocollage and constructions, performance, filmmaking, digital media and words on paper. I have since extended this examination into the public space with the series What is Re(a)d, which is represented in the works in progress gallery. |
