Symbolic Relief

"The word symbol is derived from the Greek verb 'symballein' which means "to throw together".

In the case of artists, like myself, rooted in alien or marginal cultures, symbolism becomes a kind of metaphysical bridge building. The very real dilemma of carrying one culture internally while having to operate in another makes symbol an instrument of choice."
