Description

“Isadora Duncan” ( No. 1 ) Spirit of the Dance of Joie de Vivre

“Isadora Duncan” (No. 1) was inspired by the movement and lines in Isadora Duncan’s dance performances where her signature scarf played into the dance.. It is figurative abstraction, a collage-- mixed media piece. It evolved from a simple pen and ink sketch I did of a trumpet flower, embellished with imagination, then painted, then photographed and rendered digitally here in my studio here in Asheville, North Carolina.

Theme and Symbolism: : FLUIDITY

In this first piece (No. 1) in the Isadora Duncan series, the focus is Isadora’s signature attire--referred to in the many curving lines of this image. Here too is a reference to her philosophy and actual practice of uninhibited dance.

This piece is symbolic of fluidity, release, letting go, dismissal of rigidity and structure as is typical of traditional ballet.

The visual story emphasizes the fraught process of selection we—each of us-- face daily—that being the choice to look for beauty and possibility in what is around us.

The juxtaposition of color with changing light also symbolizes positive change through envisioning different perspectives.

Story and Method: : ISADORA DUNCAN has been praised as the ultimate performance artist -and mother of modern dance- for she “...placed an emphasis on ‘evolutionary’ dance motion, insisting that each movement was born from the one that preceded it, that each movement gave rise to the next, and so on in organic succession. Her dancing defined the force of progress, change, abstraction and liberation.

Here, I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.


** This artwork is available in a variety of framed and unframed gallery-quality prints, home décor items such soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows as well as greeting cards and weekender totes.
