    My Sharona
    Steel, glass, found objects Size (h x w x d) 10’ x 10’ x 10 Vladimir Nabokov said in his novel, “Lolita”, “I am trying to describe these things not to relive them in my present boundless misery, but to sort out the portion of hell and the portion of heaven in that strange, awful, maddening world of nymphet love.” My ballerina is invisible, but her garment implies a fragile creature within an armament of lively red broken, wired and fused glass; she is also a powerful girl, suggested by her corset armature and Medusa-like tutu flounce made of forged steel. A lacy steel umbrella does nothing to protect her from the storm, so it is cast onto the floor. “My Sharona” is named after the seductive 1979 song by the Knack and this piece darkly addresses predators, temptation, secrets, abuse and youth. Introspective and reflective, it was devised and created by an empowered woman with over 40 years of practice in her craft? This project was started about a year ago, that has evolved into an installation piece with 10 additional umbrellas .
