Angela Saylor lives in Franklin, TN. She is
exhibiting her work for the first time in this show. Artist Statement The desire to create pulses in me. After an experience with cancer nine years ago, creative expression became part of my personal healing process. Through those years I began recording vivid dreams. Only in the past year have I experienced group dream work. And just this summer I discovered the International Association for the Study of Dreams while attending a dream conference in North Carolina. I have never shared my artwork publicly, but the discovery of IASD seemed like a wink and a nod from the universe that a new journey has begun. ”Life is Not a Straight and Linear Path” Life does not always stretch forward, like
an artist’s one point perspective, clear to the horizon. Instead, life can
bring twists and turns, hills and valleys, and obstacles to overcome. This
collage represents dream images of roads filled with obstacles. Found
objects littering the road on an early morning walk seemed to mirror the
dream of obstacles on a roadway. Appreciating the synchronicity of the
dream and my morning reality, I carried home as much of the litter as
possible to begin conceptualizing this piece. The background surface was
prepared with paint, smeared wood putty, spills of motor oil, WD-40, dirt
and sand. ”Holy Trinity, Ancestral Roots: Rooted in Heaven, Bearing Fruit
on Earth” |
