Monster at Northwind Arts Center
I’m a bit obsessed with all things Labyrinth. The Minotaur and the Labyrinths' physical geometry have been elements of personal curiosity and visual exploration for many years. I am not sure why this particular Hero's Journey appeals to me but I return to it over and again. Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “La casa de Asterión” is a compelling contemporary and sympathetic take on this ancient story. The tittle of my Rust Monotype “Monster” references Asterion, the Minotaur, as Borges describes him, “a prisoner of his own loneliness, his otherness, his condition of monster”. “Monster” will be exhibited in the 2017 Expressions Northwest at Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water Street, Port Townsend, Wa. The exhibit opens 11:30 August 3rd and closes at 5:30 on August 27. The Exhibition’s junior, Susan Warner will speak on August 5 during Port Townsend's Art Walk Evening.
