About The Artwork
With the Circles I tore, glued and sewed pieces together. These works were very physical for me – moving around, tearing, pressing, kneeling, and bending. Looking back, I realize that they were the beginning of seeing in a new way, not just with my eyes, but also with my body. As if my body’s discomfort and sore muscles in search of a comfortable pose on the floor reflected my struggle to maintain equilibrium as my view of the world was changing at the time. Looking back I see that it was deconstructing the world as I knew it and reconstructing it anew. I was seeing previously unseen in myself, feeling my own fabric, and finding the freedom to put together the layers and pieces to create a new whole. I worked both on the floor, approaching each piece from all sides, and then on the wall, allowing myself the distance to see what had emerged. This distance mirrored the distance between myself as an observer and myself as an object of observation.
