Tossed Baby Dolls

I created two short series that reflect Amera-Centric issues of the first decade of the 21st Century. The politics of this decade, above all other things, will be remembered for polarized perspectives. The "Tossed Baby Dolls" series represents a call of alarm for the care of our children. In preparation for this series, I studied alter panel paintings from the Byzantine era. These dark, depressing, hopeless images warned of dire consequences. This dark mood was lifted onto cluttered, tossed compositions. The limited pallet and strange doll images serve to deliver unease and concerne.
