Vesuvius Remembered (Vesuvius Series)
This is part of a large continuing series that tributes the tragic victims of Mount Vesuvius and the lost cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Enveloped suddenly by the burning ash of volcanic explosion, many were discovered centuries later fossilized within an eternal embrace to find some haven from this cataclysmal event. This series is not to exploit their great anguish and death, but to reflect upon the compassion they sought within each other in their final moments of life.
Model: Dekilah
Created simply with a single divine light, a layering of Dead Sea mud, gently sifted ashes and “Proverb” by Steve Reich.
This series premiered at my solo exhibition “III - An Exhibition Trinity” on 11/11/11.

The Calming of Kali (Gnostic Series)
The Calming of Kali (Gnostic Series)
Kali Ma, called the “Dark Mother,” is the Hindu goddess of creation, preservation, and destruction. Her name, the feminine form of ka-la, primarily means “time” but also means “black” in honor of being the first creation before light and time itself. Traditionally depicted as the Destroyer calming her bloodlust by mounting her consort Shiva amidst the blood-soaked battlefield, a rare legend presents her as Maternal Protector with Shiva appearing amongst the destruction, not as her mate, but as an infant, crying aloud. Kali, hearing the distress of the helpless child, ceases her carnage to pick up and breast feed the infant, calming her ferocity.
Model: Dekilah (with Sarah as secondary arm model)
Bodypaint: Mosque Teiro
Created using bodypaint and secondary arm model w/no effects added digitally.
Featured at “Sacred Visions” @ The Scarab Club on 11/15/2012.
