- Biographical Information
- The direction of the imagery I am working with is mostly autobiographical. My statement is of the dichotomy of the human condition: both the nobility and the stupidity of it all. If I were forced to choose one word to describe my imagery, I could accept "drollism." Just as Bruegel found his society a rich source of deriving imagery, I enjoy gleaning a visual image from my own environment. This is what I am about. I find it really healthy to be able to laugh at myself- to poke fun at events that continue to live through some magic, in my memory. These memories, with all their varying emotional content, which demand to be celebrated, are good stuff for the activity of art. I hope some of these celebrated events will strike a chord from your life. The humor of these works is not a viscious criticism of self, family, religion, or birthplace. It is simply a wonderful excuse to exaggerate through a child-like use of form and color, those memories that continue to exist regardless of all the competing events of now. The work here of the horse and rider was borrowed ("ripped off") from a drawing my daughter did. The title is given in rememberance of the day Debbie (Montana sculptor, Deborah Butterfield) rode in and out of Spokane the same day (Ibach, 1990).
