Description
In this painting, body language through flowing fabric, flashes of eyes and smiles, and colors that awaken the senses, bring me to the canvas. There is something taboo about watching a person cross the street, though with the beauty of the burka, it is difficult not to be drawn in. It's not the religious laws, not the suffering of a culture, or the displacement of a group of people I see. It's grace, courage and beauty of a human beings. So I watch. Then I wonder if I could have their strength and dignity. This series is about the intersection of transition, movement and beauty . Crosswalks take on new meanings. Fabric becomes mysterious and revealing, showing attitude and hidden sensuality.
