Resurrection (The Holtkotter Project) 1996


Resurrection was a commissioned by Holtkotter International, a German chandelier manufacturer, for their USA headquarter offices.


The work was inspired by the Exodus story of faith as one enters the wilderness: following a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The background and foreground oscillates with the various elements: radiance of the gold and the position of the sun and the position of the viewer.
There are five panels- five being the number of love. The panels were affixed to an overhang of a balcony in the front lobby. South light washed the paintings and each painting was a revelation of gold. The viewer was not a spectator but involved with the revelation and the shadow of the work.Slowly and suddenly the work shifted into light and then to material. A suspension and a transformation of the ordinary into a sublime moment.


This major work was dedicated to my beloved doctor: the late Dr. Mark B. Coventry of the Mayo Clinic. He looked at the x-rays of my bone and always saw my spirit. We were in concert for decades. Before he died he asked me to make two promises to him: Cathy, only let those who honor and respect you come near and always remain an artist.This was and will always be an enduring love story- a model, a blueprint of cherishing. I am so grateful for his love and vision of me...and, he knew I loved him. Always.



Each panel measures: 96" H x 37"W x 2.5'D.
The quarter size model is shown.
