MIRIAM SLATER









"My work seeks to present the viewer with a different way of seeing the world, a world where the ordinary can become extraordinary. Science and religion have established that there is much more to the world than what we see or know. It is what we don't know and can't see that I am interested in, or what could be termed the "reality behind the reality." I also like to work with opposing elements, which, in their opposition become part of an overall whole. Symbols are often used because they transcend cultural differences and have a clear and direct meaning. A symbol works as a metaphor for a thing or idea, such as a rainbow symbolizing happiness, or a heart, love. I prefer metaphor to realism, as it effectively conveys the intangible elements in our lives."
