Ambassador II

Artist's Commentary

“Ambassador II belongs to the Utopian Dream series and carries the quality of an emissary from another realm — dignified, watchful, and wholly present in a world that exists between imagination and memory. The figure seems to carry a message that cannot quite be put into words, a knowledge earned through passage between worlds. I was thinking about the Jungian idea of the psychopomp — the guide who moves between conscious and unconscious territory — and what such a figure might look like in a contemporary, dreamlike context.”
