mixed media wood sculpture, based on a woodcut print; 18x24x12”
“My sculpture reflects on the fact that we often live in our comfort, oblivious of the pain and turmoil we directly or indirectly cause elsewhere and inflict on others. Or we remain passive face to the injustices that others may be experiencing, and not infrequently because of us.”
