"The
Victim”, is about men and women, all of us who have allowed ourselves to
become victims of others, victims of ourselves and our own toxic behaviors,
victims of society and a culture that defines who we should be and does not
accept who we are. I saw the most beautiful spider web early one morning
stretched between the spindles of the deck railing. It was glistening with
the morning dew. It was so fragile yet exquisite in it’s iridescence.
Many things that lure us in are actually traps. We get caught in the
trappings of life and become victims so easily. Once inside it is very
difficult to escape. The spider is often used by many cultures as the
original weaver or lacemaker, creating something so unique it can’t be
duplicated. I love the analogy and used it here, juxtaposed to the concept
of the spider waiting for her victim to become trapped in her web.

"...artists like those shown here feel what they do, and worry less about how others will see them. Which rhymes rather well with this year's best in show, a photograph of a breast cancer survivor's lean torso woven in strips onto a small canvas by Daryl Lancaster. "Survivor" is all about daring others to look. Arms up, body given just a touch of contrapposto twist, "Survivor" looks for all the world like an underwear ad when you first see it. Which is, of course, the point." - Dan Bischoff, Newark Star-Ledger, Friday June 20, 2008
