Harry Houdini was intentionally shackled and submerged in a tank of water on Oct 24, 1826. It was his last performance. He died, likely, of appendicitis. There are many of ways to be shackled and/or submerged, intentionally, by someone else, by your mind. Trapped takes an esoteric look at the concept using acrylic gel image transfers, religious iconography, chains, coins, an old and rusting door hinge. Very tactile and textural, a bit dark and mysterious. The piece is not framed.
It’s the paper and pencil, plus the paint, paste, pastel’s, pens and just about anything else that gets the work to where it’s going. I enjoy using found ephemera and bits of moss, lichens and other natural materials. There’s often lots of texture, visual and actual. Although no longer designing gardens, the natural world is a through line in most of the work which ranges from abstract to representative to full on fantasy.
