| by Reven Marie Swanson Denver, Colorado "New Dancing Moon” is a continued exploration of the artist’s “Dancing Moon” series. The form demonstrates in the most simple geometric shape the moon. It shimmers and changes shape at every angle, glance or blowing wind, just as the moon does to our naked eye. The large fused glass disc glows and reflects light as an entertaining reminder of our natural world. Ms. Swanson’s artwork is about change, movement, balance and growth. Through the artworks, Ms. Swanson seeks to identify her past and add the influences of the present. She hopes to speak for the universal woman and attempt to describe the relationship between the natural, instinctual self alongside the contemporary, modern-day self. The works are often suspended or mounted above ground to imply flight, movement and transitional experiences of growth.  |
