| These unconventional drawings are the product of a similarly unique thought process. My career as artist comes on the heels of a long career as activist. Those decades of experience forged a deep commitment to this world; it remains at the core of my consciousness. They also instilled a courageous drive that is now channeled into art-making. While I keep abreast of the contemporary art world, the vision I follow is entirely my own. My drawings are the product of a meditative process. They're intended to evoke the same in the viewer. It's the transformative potential of art that drives my pursuit. The world we live in could use some transformation. My drawing technique utilizes my body as the initial mark-maker. It seems the feminists got it right when they said our bodies know things that our minds don’t. The imprints left by my body dictate the process of bringing the finished drawing into being. I follow their lead. And I'm often astonished by the results of this collaboration with chance. I am a daughter of Tommie Rybovich, the noted boat designer and builder. I proudly claim an inheritance of self-guided vision and ambition for the work. It has been gratifying to have my work in the Drawing Center's slide registry in New York since 2004. |
