Pamela Tudor Artist Statement, Mother Earth Series
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
~ Albert Einstein
My connection to the earth and how we are destroying the environment preoccupies me. I have been painting on this topic for a while - in a series I call Mother Earth: rain, rising waters, lost ice, trees, underwater worlds. The beauty and desecration of our one-and-only, amazing, sacred home are my themes.
We still have much to cherish in our world, and much beauty. I express that in my work. It is my way of communicating that we pay attention, band together and say “yes” to being true stewards of our mother, our planet, our Earth.
My shadow boxes have worlds contained in small spaces. I use re-purposed, recycled, found and broken objects in small open boxes, like the dioramas of my childhood. My hope is that my art becomes a conversation between the viewer and the piece.
As part of my current show, at the Courtyard by Marriott, Philadelphia Navy Yard, I have started a climate blog. Please write a letter to our climate, which goes directly to me, and I will compile responses in an artist's book. The show of Mother Earth paintings is up until March 12, 2018.
