Description

A silk screen print made up of a grid of 12 purple squares with green leaf-like images within them. This is print 1 of 12. Artist Statement: "I view my role as an artist as that of a researcher; exploring history, theology, and culture often from a feminist perspective. I am interested in hidden knowledge and neglected narratives that support alternative views of history that change or question the traditions of hierarchy in science and social systems; and I am interested in different forms of knowledge and ways of seeing. Through this investigation I seek to revitalize ideas that have been lost or forgotten, or do not conform to contemporary scientific culture yet may continue to hold philosophical value. Much of my work is based on the Doctrine of Signatures, a theory that the world can reveal its interconnectedness through signs or cues, such as plants can inform us how to use them because they look like our bodies. I have been interested in this theory because I believe that it is a good example of how different cultural, spiritual, and scientific views can inform how we understand/interpret what we see."
