Roberta Allen Art & Writing

The original series of drawings, Some Facts About Fear, was created in 1980 and destroyed in a flood. The series was inspired  by Soren Kierkegaard who played with words to present contradictions and paradoxes inherent in the human condition that reveal us to ourselves in unexpected ways. 

 

Fear is subjective but I define it as an objective state that lives outside the viewer. Objective views of subjective states create paradoxes with more than a hint of humor. This work continues to evolve out of my interest in language, psychology, conscious-ness and spirituality.
