My husband of many years died in 2019,  just before the'lockdown'  of the Pandemic -a truly traumatic experience for us all -I hadn't realized how very numbed I was by the whole experience. Two years passed with my inability to work in my studio or even think creatively as I had in the past and the frustration was building. Then one day I was looking at my emails and someone sent me a  music video -  I was bored and so I opened it- It was a song I had loved when I was much younger, but it had  melancholy mood to it and I hesitated.

Fortunately, I did watch it!  

It was a well crafted B/W  film and then the lead singer of the group filled the screen- The image of his head was pure sculpture! The addition of the silver piercings was exotic to say the least, and then he sang!  " The Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkle)  His voice was absolutely beautiful and  added ang

The addition of the silver piercings was exotic to say the least, and then he sang!  " The Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkle)  His voice was absolutely beautiful and  added anger to the lyrics...Exactly what I need to hear! The name of the group (if you are not familiar with heavy metal music,as I wasn't)  is DISTURBED. I was surrounded by beauty & anger- exactly what I needed to shock me into seeing my world again.

I listened and was surrounded by all I had been missing.

A very appropriate title, as it proved to be. Typical of the band's music, it,too,was what I needed. I got up from my chair and began to gather the materials to make smaller works that became my "Three-Ring Pandemic Circus". I have completed seven sculptures and have plans for three other slightly larger pieces when I have my new studio in Greensboro, North Cariolina. 

THANK YOU,David, Dan, Mike & John of DISTURBED
