Many of these works
are based on stones, their physical heft or the outline
of their shapes.
Stones are good teachers, because they prompt questions:
about time (“How old
is the one I hold in my hand?”) and about space
(“Where has this one traveled? Where am I going?”). They have something to say
about patience and
silence. And as anchors, they have freed me
to try various
artistic options.
“Field pairs odd objects and
materials, mixing textures and contexts that seem to grow or morph into new
objects and contexts.
Her Stones with lichen-like
patches of beadwork and thread are soothing and beg to be caressed. On the
other hand
her Untitled Installation,
constructed of toy railroad track, zippers, metal snaps, and 35mm film strips,
looks like a marvelous spiky
growth that creeps up the wall and across the ceiling, reminiscent of
Aljoscha’s biomorphisms
that have been appearing in
various European locations.”
