Description:
Currently, I am developing an exhibit called 'Rose colored...' This exhibition will be dedicated to the exploration of the rose form as a sculptural element and additionally, one capable of holding color. The rose is one of human species earliest and most complex markers. Evidence of roses used as symbols have been found in ancient Eygptian tombs, in holy places in Eastern Africa, in frescoes painted by Minoan culture in Crete, in classical Greek and Roman festivals –holy and mundane and continues to be the focus of hybridization, breeding and interpretation today. Throughout the centuries, its meaning has been both dramatic and fluid. Over the ages it has and continues to symbolize both good & evil; hope & delusion; beginnings & ends, peace, religion, faith, love, friendship, wealth, beauty, in the fifteenth century - warring factions, and even, in the seventeenth century - legal tender and medicine. The rose is one of the most varied yet universally accepted historical symbols in the world and though easily identifiable, each rose as an object is unique. For this reason, in creating the rose sculptures no molds or forms are utilized. Each rose is hand-sculpted and then hand-painted.
