Charred Dancers
The "Charred Dancers" is a continuation of my long-running involvement with humanistic concerns, using ensembles of large-scale figurative cut-outs as the vehicle of expression. These dancers are not vibrant, living couples. They are remnants of desire and, perhaps, even love. The viewer will add the rest.
