"It is through the disorientations of perception that
we may best understand the fundamental strangeness of
the world"
Linda Bierds- The Profile Makers
Within our shared world view perceptions differ
greatly from person to person. We can never really
know what another sees, even when we agree about what we are seeing. Reality
is no more than an interpretation. In many respects
the images in my paintings are there to entice the
viewer's attention until the perceptual biases loosen
and a change occurs. The line between reality and
non-reality is readily crossed, given the right
stimulus. These paintings of the overlooked and unusual might present an opportunity
for opening to the boundless mystery that surrounds
us.
