Artist statement
"My work stems from tradition and is inspired by historical and contemporary events addressing literal or metaphysical confinement. The oppressed are fearful. Terror stems from the thought of oppression or actual physical captivity. Minorities are oppressed and controlled. My Jewish, French Canadian Indian, history is filled with subjugation. During my early childhood, I lived on a Navajo reservation where my family practiced Judaism and Native religion. My father represented the Navajo Relocatees, helping them to obtain land and homes. For me, these experiences were seminal influences.
My ideas are rooted in the Holocaust, the Inquisition, the European Conquest of America and other countries in which Jews and Native people were persecuted. Fear of capture, persecution and torture forced them to hide or live in small secret places. In these confined places, religious practice, ritual, and the fight to preserve traditions continued. This body of work combines photography and sculpture to express the idea of confinement including contemporary events such as the conflict in Israel, Abu-Graib and Guantanamo Bay. These horrific events of the past and present are connected to my childhood and families history and evoke strong emotions. I am overwhelmed, and frustrated by the state of oppression. I am trapped. I hope there is some way out."
