Linda Polesnak Herrick

Featured artist is Linda Polesnak Herrick is from upstate New York. Linda sent us this description of her work.

"From childhood through adulthood I spent many hours in graveyards wandering among the gravestones, looking at the carved images and reading epitaphs. I am inspired to present this gravestone art in a different medium. This is my creative goal. I wish the symbolism to transcend from a forgotten graveyard to the light of the present day. Each piece is based on an authentic hand rubbing from a 17th, 18th and 19th century gravestone. I transform these dense stone carvings into ethereal pieces by interacting a clear carved glass image and an array of tiny colored glass pieces with light. When mixed with sunlight, the carving and mosaics have a jewel-like quality. An integral part of a person's life is reflected in the symbolic carving, while the light shining through seems to free them from the grave to the heavens."

We are very excited to have Linda's work featured at Sea Hag. Please call for us for sizes and prices.
