Artist's statement:
"The motif in Red Facing Fear #3 is based on my sense of the fragility and precariousness of contemporary life. The structure suggests a sense of power, where one addition or change–such as adding a red line down the middle of the composition–can reinforce or destabilize the picture plane. This resembles how daily routines and a sense of normalcy can be derailed by a slight or sometimes violent event, which in turns creates instability and ambiguity. In creating Red Facing Fear #3 I used a combination of relief and monotype blocks. The relief block provided stability and replication. The monotype block allowed for endless variations, which I created through multiple monotype techniques including layering subtle colors. This process of making monoprints parallels the dynamics of the world and its complicated ever-changing nature."

This piece expresses how I often feel when I am out of place in a new place. Traveling far from home or starting over somewhere new can be a surreal experience; sometimes you pause and wonder, how did I get here? Or why am I here? Leaving can feel like stepping off a cliff into the unknown, represented here by total black. But she hasn't fallen, she might even be floating, elevating to something greater: ascending.
