THREE SMALL GRACES




The Fool represents young women who will face life’s challenges and must triumph. He embodies trust and helps them move into the future with child-like simplicity.  The three small Graces are goddesses of charm, beauty and joy and the balloons remind us that youth is ephemeral and we all, indeed, grow up.

VOICE OF EVIL (REVISITED)




In the late 19th century in France puritan thought was that all evil was sexual.  The original Voice of Evil depicted lesbian love infused with a delicate and subtle eroticism very much at odds with the prevailing values of the time.  My how the world has change!  Pretty much anything between consenting adults is allowed today.

DOG DAYS




From the Halcyon Days series.  We feel we can live forever and all things are possible.  The dog is an archetypal companion that directs and protects possibly from the goddess of the dead (or is that really just Hofman’s Rubber Duck?).

WHAT NOW




The Seeker is always searching for something that will satisfy.  Is it the chaotic sexuality of the mischievous monkey or the sublime sensuality of the tango.  He is a voyeur who examines his own participation in the world, as he observes the activities of others.  Does the mask conceal his true nature from others or from himself?
