Inspiration/intent: painting by Andes Zorn “Isabella Stewart Gardner in Venice”, 1894.

In the spirit of creative risk-taking, Isabella Gardner continues her mission by inspiring my sustainability project “Enigma of Footgear”. I create 3-D works with outdated designer footwear, which can be perfect media for installations and sculptures with strong public statement or enigmatic silence. Enigma of Footgear is what grounds us, what connects us to the earth, and what carries us around. Isabella moves with grace and spontaneity: picks up her shoe, drapes with white silk and crowns with jewelry. She lets her swan out in the Fenway of Boston to swim in the Muddy River.
