Always Landing On Your Feet (artist statement April 2009)

Always Landing On Your Feet (mixed media)
Graceful, gliding, stepping, strutting women....The species that have the ability to carry themselves as delicate pieces of machinery. A work of art, masterpiece on stilts, a dynamic element of what looks like soft, fragile equipment. She’s fully equipped with a heart capable of loving, an organ able to birth human life, a magical entity in heels, climbing up through her entire journey of life, always on the ups, erecting, growing, progressing, and evolving up her “tree of life.” Its an aging, yet classic truth – the beauty and wonder of a woman’s grace. But don’t be fooled by the look of fragility. A woman is a strong, sturdy machine to boot. Heels like boots for climbing, kicking, and stomping like giants. But the kind of giants that are clever as cats, and like cats, always landing on their feet.(please enlarge or zoom in to view detail better)
