Strong Arms Usa No.01 2001 Series

Description : Artists Statement
September 11, 2001 has been engraved into the psyche of the human race. It's
a date that has inspired many actions by governments and individuals. Such turmoil can not erupt with out its effect reaching far into my artistic work. This series is driven out of the myriad of emotions that have ripped at us all since September 11. These five works constructed over four years encompass the shifts and changes along with capturing the courage of people to rising above adversity.
TV brought the images into Australian homes of the twin towers collapsing. A feeling of hopelessness was forged in my heart and a realization that strength would be needed by the people to deal with the immediate destruction. This is the starting point of the series, Strong Arm America.
As the dust settled and the loss of life was calculated the strength of the American people was being tested and enemies were sought and defined. Words like “evil must die echo around to construct the name for the enemy. Yet still the color blue shines through in the works representing the peaceful essence that all humanity wants. A black band can be found touching on the experience of mourning that has found its way through us all. The amalgamation of gold, silver and copper under the eagle is reflecting the inner strength of people as a richness beyond there capital wealth.
Gently surveying or with piercing presence the eagles eyes enter the space around it. It stands to protect the boundaries and thoughts of us all.
The steadiness of the eagle is mirrored in the placement of the dots, time mixed with control constructs the image. Color laid in tension or blend against each other. The dot is placed with thought of its interaction with the other dot next to it.
The last work in this series touches upon the strength of courage as friends of the fire man stand opposing each other. These Dalmatians bring this five piece serious to an end. This series reflects the massive fluctuations in my mind since September 11. I believe it begins with despair and goes through hopelessness to incredible courage and positivism in the world.
