Abstract
Skeleton Woman: Embracing the Unknown Allows for Surprises was a temporary installation that explored a chaotic, whimsical and intuitive visual language. The theme Skeleton Woman, refers to an allegory about the Life/Death/Life cycle and the transformation of fear into love. I used assemblage, mural painting and drawing to explore issues of beauty and non beauty as well as the presence and acceptance of dysfunction. The chaotic display of objects, drawings, lines and textures gave way to an underlying, rhythmic order. I intended to express personal struggle and transcendence through my own visual and material sensibilities and I allowed the viewer to completely immersed in that process.
