Artist's
Statement
Wraith Wrap is an animated beacon towering high above its environs
and calling to all in a soothing, yet slightly ominous tone. Its song
attempts to console and cajole, to embrace and enlighten, to revere and
reminisce. It looks out and up while raising its arms and proclaiming
its ghostly chant.
Nightshirts,
my first piece for Forest Hills, is sited just above a 19th century family
lot. It echoes and honors the generations of people connected to this
place.
Nightshirts has a gentle quality, evoking a Victorian family which has
returned to the world of the living for a brief visit. I have created
something quite different for ReVisited. Wraith Wrap is
a singular totem sited high on a hill and serves as a beacon for visitors.
Its grand scale, wrapped around a majestic maple tree, speaks of an otherworldly
being.
