In 1984, I was living in a warehouse studio on a dead-end street in Sarasota. I felt insecure being the only person who went to sleep at night in that industrial area. I did some research on Haitian Voodoo and imagined envisioning angels protecting me in the studio space and wherever I went. Eschewing corporeal figures, I opted for feathery lines made with iridescent paint sticks and placed them in architectural settings borrowed from the Early Renaissance. Raised in the Catholic church, it was an easy steal. I took pleasure in blending Haitian spirits with Catholic architecture.
