Mary Antonia Wood: Poco a Poco

September 2004

     

Transcending the past and the present, Mary Antonia Wood's paintings and constructions also transcend the boundaries of painting and sculpture. Her work reflects a deep interest in the eternal mysteries of existence, which know no beginning or end ­ life and death, darkness and light, time and space, nature and the supernatural. "My work is an act of discovery ­ a journey through mystery, legend, and myth. It is a sort of spiritual archeology, which eventually leads to the barest elements, the hidden essence within," the artist states. Read more about the artist >>
