CONTEMPORARY ICONS
Is it comfort you need?
A reminder to not take yourself so seriously?
Are you grieving?
Do you seek a word of wisdom?
A religious icon often hangs on a wall as a sign of veneration. Historically, icons are of saints or much beloved religious figures. Classic ones are ornate, with lots of gold.
The icons I create are none of these. Yes, there is some gold in most of them, and yes, these can easily be hung up or placed on a shelf or altar. But these icons are wise friends, ready to watch over you, console you, make you laugh. Or, give one to a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor. You can write your own message on the back of each one.
Each is formed from remnants of art materials from my studio.
Each is, in some way, wrapped in blanket-like materials as a symbol of being surrounded by love. You are beloved. Remember that.
