Wendy Olson - painting, sculpture, and functional objects

The content of my work is a visual journal of my life. This new body of work is influenced by an idea of layers in my life. This transfers to my work in layers of shape, images, narrative, and of meaning. With these layers come ideas of duality: Past and present, forces of good and evil, and duality as it exists in people and in life. The effort to transcend what I have experienced is always present; the effort to connect the commonplace with the universal and the universal back with the commonplace.
