MY FATE IS NOT YOUR FATE
by Cassandra Christensen Barney
 E-mail this product to a friend
The figures in Cassandra Christensen Barney's
paintings have the grace of angels, the enigmatic gazes of sphinxes and
a history stretching back through millennia of mythology and
literature. Inspired by portraiture of the sixteenth century, Barney
has brought us such portraits as Demetria, Eve and Pandora. Her newest
piece however, My Fate is Not Your Fate, draws on "the collective
unconscious-what we all share and what is common to all of us."
The two women in My Fate is Not Your Fate represent the fork in
a lifelong road. As children, they may have shared similar experiences,
but in adulthood their paths take different directions. Although they
stand beside one another as they have for years, their postures
indicate alternative possibilities. We all may share many common
threads but, says Barney, "we don't all have to want the same thing." |
