THE GUARDIAN SERIES

(click on image for enlargement)




The Guardian Series (1988-1994) offers a way of integrating various capacities of the human heart and mind by tapping into cultural, spiritual and psychological iconography. Guardianship implies the intention to sustain one's gaze on any and all approaching dangers. In ancient times guardian figures were often placed at the doorstep in order to keep out any trespassing evil. In the same way, these transformational portraits sometimes disturb in their capacity to sustain their powerful gaze on any approaching terror.
