Statement
I have to smile when I consider this work, created while contemplating retirement and the precarious nature of life. A perilous climb up the tricky staircase of time, accumulating some gold, hopefully enough to survive without working, and then a balancing act of health and reduced abilities, while balancing on the slippery edge of existence. Some of my work, such as the piece for this show are meant to provide comments on aging and a focus on not wasting rapidly passing time! I admit that I sometimes get carried away with symbols and embedded meanings, and I can seldom keep my puckish sense of humour under control. The layers of metaphor are practically infinite.
