These pieces are based on the term, "survivor", despite the cliched meaning. I've been thinking over the last year about the relationships and stories the beings in my paintings have to the skulls they interact with, and here they represent the one that the beings have survived. Sometimes the things and people we survive mutate us. And I don't mean a scar, because that's too worthless. I'm thinking about how we adapt. Even if we die, the ways we mutate give us powers.
"Florera" and "Stoltsera" are Swedish for "flourish", "flaunt", "thrive" or "live in the prime" of your life. I wanted these cats who have been mutated by what they survived to not only live, but flourish with their new powers.
They will be showing TONIGHT at Stranger Factory for the opening reception of Winter Salon V in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
There's a terrific lineup of artists, including one of my favorites (and friend!) Carisa Swenson!
