Ceramic mask for Hildegarde Sculpture

Found Objects for the elements of Hildegarde Sculpture

First attempt to assemble elements of Hildegarde

Preparing for my exhibit Talismans and Visionary Allegories at Lagerquist Gallery in Atlanta has been exciting, intriguing  and challenging! Mostly because I am creating my first found object figurative sculpture “Hildegarde”.

She will represent the story teller in the exhibit and encompasses all of the symbolism represented in each of the allegories. As I searched for the elements of this sculpture I found that each time I found that special recycled piece of wood, metal , paper or ceramic I could feel the essence  and the  spirit of this art piece coming together.  I will continue to add the photos of her creation as I complete this new idea of expression of my work in the study of the journey of iconography.
