Artist's Statement
"The role of the indigenous shaman was to mediate between the visible and the invisible worlds. Originally this was the role of the artist: to endow that barely perceptible liminal realm with a physical form, producing symbols of evolutionary import. I believe in the power of images to create change. Though the imagery in my work is incredibly intimate, it echoes an experience that is universally female. I create for both personal and transpersonal revolution."
- Lucy Madeline
Lucy Madeline is a multidisciplinary artist working in video and sculptural installation, performance, photography, and painting. Her work is characterized by a fundamental search for identity through relationship to the physical and metaphysical body. Through her re-appropriation of the female form, and thus the female experience, she redefines her understanding of self, sexuality, personal history and transformation. By utilizing the dynamic between images, words and sounds, she articulates through visual metaphor those things which cannot be spoken with words alone. She is informed by archaic imagery and tradition, exploiting the passage of time and repetition of ritualistic actions to communicate themes of loss, separation, and the sacralization of the mundane.
She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Here's to a day full of inspiration and discovery, with Beato's spirit ever-present. Thanks for sharing these photos and thoughts. It's so lovely seeing you so at home, doing what you do best. Did you find the hidden swallow? Did the coyotes wake you?
ReplyDeleteMoostiche!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful comment. I did find the swallow, she was perched right above me looking down the whole time. The coyotes are babies learning to hunt, I haven't heard them in a few nights. I wonder if that accounts for my strange dreams lately? Perhaps the coyotes song was a soothing one for my little city-worn heart.
