As magnifcent mixed-media paintings emulate shields, force felds, talismans, each imbued with layered connotations. In the artist’s words: “These shields tend not to be combative — the pointy edges are more like the decorative fringe of a rug than they are the point of a spear. I think, instead, they’re meant to hold a person up, to bolster strength and resolution in a moment of great uncertainty.” Presented at VOLTA NY by Fred Giampietro Gallery, New Haven.
