Claudia DeMonte “La Forza del Destino”
June Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
DeMonte has traveled the globe to such far-flung destinations as Bhutan, Laos, Saudi Arabia, Senegal and Tibet to observe cultures, customs and idiosyncrasies. La Forza del Destino, she says, examines icons that represent luck, superstition, and protection from the evils of the world in many of the places she has visited.
DeMonte uses a female form sculpted from wood and laden with pictographic configurations suggestive of luck and charms of protection to demonstrate both her continued interest in women痴 multifaceted roles and impact as the storytellers, historians and mythological controllers of destiny and just how integral La Forza del Destino is to daily existence for many cultures.
