Gallery Visitors with "Maternal Shield" Installation

Clay with encaustic transfer of family photo, oil stick, silk threads, 24 k. gold leaf, continuous audio loop thru headphones. 

 22.5" x 16" x 1," + headphones, + writing table.

 Viewers are invited

to write a message

to a mother-figure

and then

place the note into glass container

and then

pay attention to what unfolds...

The artist will burn the papers

in a future smoke-firing,

sending the notes to the heavens...
