Suzanne Reese Horvitz Paintings
I try to evoke the mind of a dreamer to explore my memories and interests then invite the viewer into my dream. I tease the viewers interest with symbols and codes of beauty and hope they will come along with me. Stories of the extraordinary fascinate me, including hybrid creatures of folklore, sirens, mermaids, and arthropods. I use Myths such as: The Sirens’ story as a metaphor for the Allure of Beauty and its dangers. My love of words and the narrative in art, often leads me to design my work as book pieces, and to use my art to create my personal visual journal. Through my art, I examine myself, my relationship with the things that excite me, and create a record of my life’s journey.
“Water is our planet’s life blood, rivers its blood vessels.” Our Earth is experiencing a crisis of global warming, shortages of water in some places and floods in other. We humans understand how everything on earth is connected, as in the theory of Gaia. Often, however, we have a conflict of interest between what benefits us personally and what benefits us communally. I use the world of arthropods as a metaphor because of their innate ability to cooperate. Insects have learned to form a system of interacting elements. Many share a common goal: the survival of the colony. To solve the world’s problems, our first step must be to learn that the community comes before our individual needs.
