Zerrissenheit (IIa), 2017, by Barbara van Buskirk
“Woman’s life today is tending more and more toward the state William James describes so well in the German word, ‘Zerrissenheit — torn-to-pieces-hood.’ ”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea, ©1955, pages 55-56
Today I am launching Seacoast Women, my new series of one-of-a-kind monotypes. Over the past three years, Seacoast Women has evolved from direct painting monotypes to monotype collage compositions built up, layer upon layer, using a variety of monotype techniques. The eight pieces entitled Zerrissenheit (torn-to-pieces-hood) begin the Seacoast Women series.
I invite you to click on Galleries then click on Seacoast Women to take a look at the start of this new series.
