Past and present and future resonate one within the other in a never-ending dance. As we change from moment to moment, informed by past experiences and guided by hopes for the future, where do we sit in the present?
I try to process what bothers me deeply into images that reach people on a subconscious and emotional level. How do we make our leaders pay attention? How do we effect actual change?
In the tapestry entitled “Will It Ever End?”, the remains of a dead owl hover over a depiction of the aftermath of war. Three figures carry away a wrapped body while below are more dead bodies awaiting burial. The owl was killed by an eagle which needed food to stay alive. What excuse does man have for the senseless killings he perpetrates? Will it never end?
