Artist's Statement for "Back Is Beautiful" Exhibit

This Exhibit was shown in four venues in the Ottawa Valley in 2008 and was sponsored by Dr. of Chiropractic Kathleen Doran

On the side of Humanity that is
The Back Side, we can state that
BIOLOGICALLY separating us from
most of God's creatures, it gives us
a view of our Environment that may lead
PHILOSOPHICALLY to an upright
(and perhaps uptight) perspective
of morals and religion axial to
the self-centered mode and
ARTISTICALLY, with the exception of
the 3D sculptor, to often being hidden,
or, one might say, Back Handed or
Back Logged into Back Ground,
behind the more popular front, but
MEDICALLY a bit Back Ward in the
pain price paid for being
upright citizens
where only one branch had
the spinal fortitude to take
the forward position of
hand treating and healing
that connective anatomy
between hips and head,
and so, time and space taken
to reflect on, empathize with and
celebrate in black and white and
shades of grey
that less observed portion
of our Human Condition
